Different types of concrete used today have been linked to the development of new materials and the construction procedures applied. Prior to the 1960s, the only binder material that was included in concrete mixtures was Portland cement. In the decades of 70s and 80s, chemical and mineral admixtures began to be massively used, so it is not possible to consider nowadays the concrete technology without these materials. Advances such as nanotechnology have also been promoted to optimize the mechanical properties and durability of Portland cement-based concretes (Bastami, Baghbadrani, & Aslani, 2014), being nanosilica, nanoalumina, nanotitanium, and carbon nanotubes, among others, the nanomaterials most used. Among them, nanosilica has been constituted as the nanomaterial most used in concrete applications at a research level: it is just emerging from fundamental research to the industrial application (The American Ceramic Society, 2010). Nevertheless, nanosilica still requires an adequate theoretical and experimental understanding regarding its characterization, dosage, application and effects on fresh and hardened-state concrete (Singh et al., 2013). On the sustainability issue, nanosilica will reduce the cement consumption for specific concrete grade (Singh et al., 2013), and the reduction in cement usage (ca. 20–30 wt.%) will help in protecting the environment to a great extent (Quercia, Hüsken, & Brouwers, 2012).

This work is motivated by the electric-ceramic industry. The electric-ceramic products are widely used in electronics, electric power and electrical appliances industries. As pointed by the American Ceramic Society in 2014, the global market for electric-ceramic is estimated at around $9 billion. To satisfy the mass customisation, many electric-ceramic components manufacturers, such as Kyocera, Murata, CPG and Saiying, adopt the make-to-order mode. Sales orders can be described as a list of multiple products with specific demand quantities. As a basic procedure, sales orders are usually split into work orders via ERP system, and then job-level production schedule is dispatched. Finally, the related products are combined according to the sales orders and then shipped to the customers. A good order production schedule is beneficial to improve the customer service for manufacturers. In the production process, the sintering operation is the most time-consuming procedure, and thus becomes the bottleneck of the production line. In the sintering operation, a fixed number of electric-ceramic components are assigned into a board and the specific number of boards are baked in a furnace where atomic and molecular diffusion processes give rise to significant changes in the primary microstructural features of electric-ceramic components. Each board can be regarded as a job. The sintering furnace can process some jobs simultaneously as a batch.

Based on the collected data on the top 10 most prolific journals in Table 1, it was found that these journals were owned by six different publishers. The publisher with the highest number of journals listed was Elsevier. In total, there were four journals under Elsevier, which are “Ceramics International”, “European Ceramic Society”, “Materials Letters” and “Journal of Alloys and Compounds.” The other six journals were published by Wiley, American Institute of Physics, Springer Nature, Dianzi Gongye Bu, and Chongging Yibiao Cailiao Yanjiusuo/Chongqing Instrument Materials Research Institute. The journal with the most output was Ceramics International with 126 articles, contributing 5.9% of the total publications, followed by Journal of The American Ceramic Society (107 articles; 5.0%), Journal of Applied Physics (102 articles; 4.8%), Journal of Materials Science Materials in Electronics (102 articles, 4.8%), Journal of The European Ceramic Society (97 articles, 4.6%) and the rest of the journals contributed below 60 articles. Although Journal of Applied Physics was placed on 3rd rank, it managed to achieve the highest number of total citations of 6107. Unfortunately, even though Journal of Applied Physics had the highest number of total citations, their article with highest number of citations published in 1979 received only 405 citations compared to the Journal of American Ceramic Society, which had 1417 citations, placing it on the 2nd rank. Meanwhile, Gongneng Cailiao Journal of Functional Materials published the least cited article with only six citations, placing it on the 10th rank.
