Feature Papers in the ‘Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering’ Section

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute a paper to our Special Issue focusing on “Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering”. This issue is dedicated to providing an inclusive platform for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to share their latest discoveries, innovations, and insights within the realm of industrial and manufacturing engineering. Our goal is to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration and the exchange of ideas to tackle contemporary challenges and uncover opportunities for enhancing industrial and manufacturing practices. Through a selection of high-caliber research articles and reviews, we aim to enrich the existing knowledge base in areas such as advanced manufacturing technologies, supply chain management, quality control, and sustainability. Ultimately, our aim is to foster the development of more efficient, resilient, and sustainable industrial systems.

Suggested themes and article types for submissions:

1. Advanced Manufacturing Technologies: this theme encompasses cutting-edge techniques and technologies utilized in manufacturing processes, including additive manufacturing, robotics, automation, and digital manufacturing.
2. Supply Chain Management and Logistics Optimization: articles within this theme may concentrate on enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and resilience within supply chains by employing optimization techniques, risk management strategies, and emerging technologies such as blockchain and IoT.
3. Quality Control and Six Sigma: this theme encompasses research on quality management methodologies, such as Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, Total Quality Management (TQM), and statistical process control, and their applications in enhancing product quality, reducing defects, and improving customer satisfaction.
4. Sustainable Manufacturing and Green Technologies: articles in this field may explore environmentally friendly practices, circular economy principles, the integration of renewable energy, waste reduction, and eco-design strategies to foster sustainable development within the industrial and manufacturing sectors.

Reviews and original research articles focusing on these themes, as well as related topics, are strongly encouraged for submission. Should you require further assistance or wish to include additional details, please let us know. We are here to help facilitate your submission process

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. Applied System Innovation 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 1400 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.
