Despite this growing recognition of humans as an integral part of any production system\u2014whether as operators, designers, planners, or customers\u2014production planning research still often lacks a rigorous human-centric analysis. To address the lack of human-centered research in the field of production planning, behavioral operational research (BOR) and behavioral operations (BeOps) provide fruitful theory, methodology, and research methods. This present study aims to pursue a systematic literature review (SLR) on BOR and BeOps research focusing on production planning problems. The result and synthesis of a content analysis including 132 papers provides insights into (i) key themes of the research landscape and (ii) human-centered research frameworks\u2014aiming to serve as a guiding reference and \u201cfast lane\u201d for future BeOps\/BOR studies, primarily to support the early design phases. Our SLR indicates that, within research frameworks, it is fruitful to distinguish whether human aspects are addressed as human behavior (e.g., performance, decision making), human factors (e.g., bias, emotion), or an integration of both, as each point of emphasis offers unique contributions for future studies. Approximately two-thirds of the articles in our sample explicitly incorporate human behavior as a central point of interest. Therefore, we strongly encourage researchers to explicitly focus on investigating human behavior in their research design, while the inclusion of human factors delivers important explanatory power for the manifestation thereof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Why should you join?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By joining, you\u2019ll get easy-to-follow guidance for future studies, especially in the important early planning stages.

Addressing this adaptation gap requires an understanding of the psychological mechanisms and contextual influences shaping climate adaptation behaviour. Whereas behavioural scientists have explored citizens\u2019 climate adaptation behaviours, the decision-making of policymakers is often overlooked despite its importance in closing the adaptation gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address this, we conducted a behavioural systems analysis to uncover behavioural dynamics that shape policymakers\u2019 decision-making, based on 32 semi-structured interviews and a workshop with Dutch urban climate adaptation policymakers. Combing thematic and content analysis with behavioural system mapping, our results highlight the importance of an integrated, dynamic system approach to understand psychological and contextual influences on policymakers\u2019 decision-making. We identified nine central themes reflecting key behavioural dynamics. Furthermore, analysis of behavioural influences using the Theoretical Domains Framework identified policymakers\u2019 beliefs about consequences, environmental context and resources, and goals as most influential determinants of behaviour. Behavioural system mapping revealed three impactful levers for behavioural interventions to improve decision-making in urban climate adaptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By integrating behavioural insights and systems analysis, this work proposes a novel approach to analyse contextual, dynamic influences and determinants of behaviour that shape adaptation policymaking. Therefore, it aligns with recent calls from behavioural scientists highlighting the need for systemic approaches in behavioural science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Why should you join?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Discover how behavioural system mapping can be utilised to understand behavioural dynamics, integrating behavioural science and systems analysis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn about the factors and dynamics that shape policymakers\u2018 decision-making in urban climate adaptation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>June 12<sup>th<\/sup>, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>12 PM to 12.40 PM (UK, London)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 PM; to 1.40 PM (CET, Berlin)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/j\/89143663283?pwd=kxdJrqXHfZ0O2nJVPL7TgfCBfuJtRq.1\">https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/j\/89143663283?pwd=kxdJrqXHfZ0O2nJVPL7TgfCBfuJtRq.1<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meeting-ID: 891 4366 3283<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kenncode: 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comment: In case of technical problems, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euro-online.org\/websites\/bor\/behavioral-operation-research-brown-bag-seminar-series\/\">https:\/\/www.euro-online.org\/websites\/bor\/behavioral-operation-research-brown-bag-seminar-series\/<\/a> before the start of the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-date\"><time datetime=\"2025-05-02T13:40:33+00:00\">May 2, 2025<\/time><\/div>\n<\/li><li class=\"wp-block-post post-1375 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-bor category-events category-events-in-the-picture\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"entry-content wp-block-post-content is-layout-flow wp-block-post-content-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/bor.euro-online.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Webinar_Poster-1024x585.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1378\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bor.euro-online.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Webinar_Poster-1024x585.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bor.euro-online.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Webinar_Poster-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bor.euro-online.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Webinar_Poster-768x439.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bor.euro-online.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Webinar_Poster-1536x878.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bor.euro-online.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Webinar_Poster.jpg 1792w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Maura E Halstead (presenting author), Manuel Lopez-Ibanez, George Farmer, and Paul Warren<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Abstract<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When designing new operations research (OR) methods, it&#8217;s crucial to consider how the human decision-maker will actually use these methods. Some methods that consider the human element assume that humans will make suboptimal decisions and offer ways to avoid such decisions. This assumption for suboptimal behavior is known as cognitive bias and comes from simple tasks in the psychology of judgment and decision-making. However, this domain revolves around simple tasks that do not measure or consider factors relevant to OR methods. As a result, we do not know if, when, how, or why cognitive biases occur in OR settings. Without this knowledge, we cannot reliably create methods or processes to overcome such behavior. This presentation will discuss one specific cognitive bias and demonstrate how behavioral experiments benefit the OR community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why should you join: Participants will learn why it is important to study cognitive phenomena in OR.
