Abstract: This paper explores the specific features of accounting applied within a Romanian microenterprise – Kaustik Producție S.R.L., specialized in the manufacturing of customized HoReCa furniture and advertising decor. According to Ristea et al. (2010), accounting is “a system for collecting, processing, and interpreting information regarding the economic and financial situation of entities,” with the essential role of supporting management decisions. The study highlights how accounting becomes a strategic tool in managing a made-to-order production company, where each project involves specific technical and financial solutions. The first part of the case study analyzes the accounting treatments related to unique orders, illustrated through a detailed case study covering all stages – from procurement to recording revenues and expenses. It also presents the main economic flows, accounting monograph, cost indicators, and operational performance evaluation. The next part conducts an economic and financial analysis of the company for 2022 and 2023, examining key indicators such as profitability, liquidity, solvency, and asset turnover. The results reflect a balanced financial structure, good cost control, and sustainable self-financing capacity. The paper is aimed both at accounting professionals and entrepreneurs who wish to understand the role of accounting information in supporting managerial decisions and optimizing economic performance in a niche production company.

Article: Sustainability of Additive Manufacturing: A Bibliometric Review of LCA-Oriented Research

Authors: FIRULESCU Alexandru-Cristian, IORDOC Dumitru-Georgian, CRĂCAN (ȘERBU) Elena-Irina, SILVESTRU Cătălin-Ionuț

Pages: 93-133

Abstract: This study examines the environmental sustainability of additive manufacturing through a bibliometric analysis of publications indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection. A dataset of 20,000 articles, reviews, and conference papers published between 2019 and 2024 was analyzed using the Biblioshiny interface of the bibliometrix package. The analysis focuses on sustainability-related research in polymer-based additive manufacturing, with particular attention to FDM and SLA technologies, which dominate current industrial applications and exhibit distinct environmental trade-offs. Publication trends, citation patterns, collaboration networks, and keyword co-occurrence structures were evaluated to characterize the evolution and thematic orientation of the field. The results indicate a strongly interdisciplinary research landscape, high levels of international collaboration, and an increasing emphasis on life cycle assessment and energy-related impacts. At the same time, the findings suggest that sustainability considerations remain unevenly integrated across additive manufacturing research, highlighting the need for more systematic and application-specific environmental assessments.
