Editorial Introduction

            I would like to start the text by apologizing for not responding to emails, as I am away due to health problems and I have not had support to keep the system up to date. I take this opportunity to say that from today I intend to put the entire system in order and updated.

            This issue of the Independent Journal of Management & production (IJM&P) features a selection of articles submitted and revised until April 2019. Observe the works are the fruit of research and publications of undergraduate, postgraduate and entrepreneurs.

            It is important to mention that all the works are showed without any kind of payment. All of them are published free from payments or taxes.

            The publication also counts on the work of researchers from various parts of the world, which have undergone a process of peer review.

            As chief editor of IJM&P, I am indebted to all members of the editorial board and reviewers, which contributed to achieve a very decent job during the evaluation and revision. Moreover, that they have contributed to the Journal in recognition of the international scientific community.

            In addition, with all the authors, who trusted the results of their research and publications to the scrutiny of editors and reviewers who are part of our Journal.

            I also take this opportunity to inform you about another great achievement of our journal, I received an email informing us that our journal is already indexed in SCOPUS, I intend to make the information available this week on our website.
