John P. T. Mo is Professor of Manufacturing Engineering and former Head of Manufacturing and Materials Engineering at RMIT University, Australia, since 2007. He has been an active researcher in manufacturing and complex systems for over 35 years and worked for educational and scientific institutions in Hong Kong and Australia. John has a broad research interest and has received numerous industrial research grants such as diagnostics for plasma cutting machines, ANZAC ship alliance engineering analysis, optimisation of titanium machining for aerospace industry, critical infrastructure protection modelling and analysis, polycrystalline diamond cutting tools on multi-axes CNC machine, system analysis for support of complex engineering systems.Professor Parames Chutima received a Bachelor of Engineering from Chulalongkorn University, a Master’s degree from Chulalongkorn University and Asian Institute of Technology, and a PhD in Manufacturing Engineering and Operations Management from the University of Nottingham, UK. Currently, he is a Professor in the Faculty of Engineering at Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, and the director of the Regional Centre for Manufacturing Systems Engineering, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. His research interests include multi-objective optimisation in operations management, production planning and control of assembly lines, just-in-time production systems and simulation modelling. He is the author of many books as well as international publications in conference proceedings and referred journals.
