Abstract

ARLA Guest editorial 32,2 Consolidating a research community on production research and logistics in Latin America Building a research community in Latin America is a challenge nowadays. Despite worldwide globalization and collaboration, wide access to academic papers and exchange programs, research is still in early stages in our continent. It is difficult to point fingers at a single cause, but we can say that this is due to several factors that include geographical barriers, lack of integration between academic units, shortage of funding and government politics. The International Foundation of Production Research and its Americas chapter plays a leading role in bringing researchers around the topic of “production” in the wide sense. Since its early days in 2002, when the chapter was born, the International Conference on Production Research-Americas Region (ICPR-AR) has been held uninterruptedly every two years.
