Operations Programming in Production Systems Permutation Flow Shop: A Bibliometric Contribution

The organization of data on the scientific production of a period contributes to the continuity of research and development of a particular field of knowledge. The main objective of this study is therefore to quantitatively analyze what occurred in relation to the programming problem in Production Systems Flow shop permutation. This was a study of bibliometric analysis, using data from the database ISI Web of Knowledge and its treatment by Sitkis® and Ucinet® software. For the research we used the following key terms: "scheduling" or "sequencing" and "Flow shop permutational" or "permutation flow shop", generating a sample of 276 articles published. At the end of the study were presented descriptive statistics results with the identification of the authors, articles and journals most referenced by researchers worldwide. Besides the main social networks of authors, citations and keywords. This work, then, becomes an important ally in the development of new ideas, concepts and approaches of perspectives on the subject.
