Abstract :The manufacturing industry is a socio-technical system with high and medium-high technology, and companies within these sectors aim to enhance their capabilities to maintain a competitive edge and ensure long-term sustainability. Organizational performance plays a crucial role in the ecosystem, but performance outcomes may not always align with continuous planning due to changes that can occur. Therefore, managing variability based on the human factor, particularly in the manufacturing industry, which has a significant impact on the national economy, is a top priority when developing solutions to address the challenges faced by these sectors. The Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) is a safety analysis technique that aims to analyze variability that causes deviations and well-performing situations. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis to provide insight into studies that have benefited from FRAM in the manufacturing industry. The study found that 52% of published works are journal articles, and Tarcisio Abreu Saurin and Eric Hollnagel are the most prominent authors in the field. For researchers, the top three journals for publishing and citing are Safety Science, Reliability Engineering & System Safety, and Ergonomics, respectively. Brazil, China, and Italy lead in the number of publications, with a limited number coming from Turkey. To identify research gaps, it is suggested that researchers use keywords such as FRAM, socio-technical systems, and resilience engineering. The results of this study are expected to motivate future research that will support the long-term viability of Turkey\\\'s manufacturing industry, particularly.
