System Reliability and Quality Management in Industrial Engineering, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

You are invited to contribute to this Special Issue, entitled “System Reliability and Quality Management in Industrial Engineering”. The main scope of this issue focuses on advances in the reliability modelling and analysis of engineering systems, maintenance and operation optimization problems of engineering systems, theory and methods of quality management, and applications of stochastic models in industrial engineering. Research on the reliability modelling and analysis of systems has been a hot topic in the field of industrial engineering. The reliability of engineering systems has become the main concern of customers and companies. System reliability has great importance because it determines the realization result of system functions. Diverse maintenance and operation policies are designed and optimized for engineering systems in practice, which can enhance the system’s reliability, prolong the system’s lifetime, and so on. Furthermore, quality has become a major business strategy for increasing productivity and gaining a competitive advantage. The theory and methods of quality management play a vital role in guiding companies to achieve their business goals. To conclude, the research achievements of system reliability and quality management in industrial engineering can provide support for decisions that companies make when managing system reliability and quality.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
