About Me
Isabel Lopes is Assistant Professor of the Department of Production and Systems and is integrated member of the Industrial Engineering and Management (IEM) Research Line at ALGORITMI Research Centre, University of Minho. She got her PhD in Production and Systems Engineering in 2007. Her research interests are maintenance management and engineering, including maintenance performance evaluation, spare parts management, maintenance management methodologies (TPM and RCM), computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS), maintenance planning, condition-based maintenance and operational risks management. She co-authored more than 70 publications indexed in ISI and/or Scopus databases. She has received scientific awards in 2016, 2014 and 2012 (the best paper 2016 of The TQM Journal in the 2016 Emerald Literati Network Awards for Excellence, Certificate of Merit for The International Conference on Systems Engineering and Engineering Management in 2014 and 2012). She supervised 4 PhDs in the area of maintenance management and engineering and, more than 60 MSc students in both maintenance management and Quality Engineering. She supervises currently 1 PhD and 6 MSc students. She also supervised scholarship holders and research assistants in the scope of her participation on financed research and development projects. She participated in the Co-Promotion Project nº 002814/2015 (iFACTORY 2015-2018), Bosch Car Multimedia partnership with the University of Minho, co-financed by the FEDER through Portugal 2020 - COMPETE 2020 in the sub-project P19- Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) – from July 2015 to June 2018. She led the research line “Condition-based maintenance” in the sub-Project “Industrial Operations Management”, of the Co-promotion Project nº 039479, FACTORY OF THE FUTURE, Bosch Car Multimedia partnership with the University of Minho, co-financed by the FEDER through Portugal 2020 - COMPETE 2020 from 2019 to 2021. She coordinated the research line of Maintenance and Asset Management in the financed project ADM.IN - Advanced Decision Making in productive systems through Intelligent Networks with the reference POCI-01-0247-FEDER-055087, co-financed by the FEDER through Portugal 2020 - COMPETE 2020 from April 2021 to June 2023. She led the folowing Co-Promotion R&D Projects under the Portugal 2020 program: - TechParts I&D - Management of maintenance activities in companies producing precision technical parts, – From August 2016 to June 2019. - CORIM - Collaborative Tool for Operational Risk Management - From July 2020 to June 2023. - SIMME - System for Intelligent Management of Measuring Equipment - From July 2021 to June 2023. She has reviewed about 30 articles in international journals. She was member of the steering committee of the Integrated Master course in Industrial Engineering and Management of the University of Minho, from March 2013 to March 2017 and she was, from March 2017 to September 2019, director of the Master course in Quality Engineering and Management. She teaches and taught more than 15 curricular units in the areas of quality management and engineering, maintenance management and Reliability, and operational research. She is currently coordinator of 4 curricular units.
