Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Advanced industrial engineering (AIE) is a major direction of current and future technological development, and also a strategy of European development and research. AIE arises from the need to apply new innovative technologies to create a better position for production companies in global and knowledge-based society. Special attention is continuously given to the problems of new manufacturing technologies and modern conceptions of manufacturing systems that allow us to make high-quality products with a high level of effectiveness and a proper level of flexibility. Given the importance of sustainable development and the rapid development of new literature in this field, this Special Issue will enrich the literature with a wide range of discussions, contributing to the development of further research in the field of advanced industrial engineering, sustainable development in industry and other relevant topics.

Therefore, we would like to invite you to submit a research paper for the Special Issue “Advanced Industrial Engineering: Innovation, Risk and Flexible Manufacturing”.

This Special Issue seeks high-quality works focusing on the following topics:

  • Management;
  • Sustainable development;
  • Industrial assembly technologies;
  • Manufacturing engineering of composite materials;
  • Manufacturing systems design for industrial applications;
  • Paradigms of modern manufacturing system designs;
  • Flexible and focused manufacturing systems;
  • Reconfigurable manufacturing systems and other manufacturing concepts of the future;
  • Advanced industrial engineering;
  • Manufacturing system capacity balancing;
  • Sustainable material-handling systems.

I/We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Optimizing production processes to conserve resources and reduce waste has become crucial in pursuing sustainable manufacturing practices. The solid wood panel industry, marked by substantial raw materials and energy consumption, stands at the forefront of addressing this challenge. This research delves into production scheduling and equipment utilization inefficiencies, offering innovative solutions for the solid wood panel processing line aimed at achieving environmental sustainability and operational efficiency. The study is articulated through two main segments: (1) an exhaustive analysis and the development of a simulation system for the solid wood panel processing line, delineating all production elements and operational logic, furnished with a user-friendly simulation interface, and (2) a comprehensive evaluation and enhancement of various scheduling algorithms specific to the Flexible Job-Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) encountered in solid wood panel workshops. A significant leap forward is made with the introduction of the Adaptive Intelligent Optimization Genetic Algorithm (AIOGA), an evolved version of the standard Genetic Algorithm (GA) engineered for optimal scheduling within the solid wood panel processing line. AIOGA incorporates advanced features such as encoding strategy, population initialization, objective function setting, selection strategy, crossover operation, and mutation operation, demonstrating the methodological depth of the study. We applied AIOGA in a designed FJSP, and AIOGA substantially reduced the maximum completion time to 90 min. It evidenced an improvement of 39.60% over the conventional GA, enhancing the equilibrium of the equipment workload across the system. This research presents a multifaceted strategy to address the scheduling complications inherent in solid wood panel production and highlights the extensive applicability of adaptive intelligent optimization in diverse industrial settings. This study establishes a new paradigm in manufacturing optimization, underlining the valuable integration of sustainability and efficiency in production methodologies. Full article
