This book covers a wide range of management issues, concerning planning, control and continuous improvement. It especially focuses on the management of the enterprise and production processes in the era of globalization, discussing the process of transferring production to developing countries, covering issues in technological culture, and reporting on quality control issues and on problems related to continuous process improvement. Modern strategies such as Six Sigma and lean manufacturing are also discussed. Another topic concerns the management of the education sphere, and how to develop the latter to prepare employees to the changes brought by the technical development. Based on papers presented at the 6th International Scientific-Technical Conference MANUFACTURING 2019, held in Poznan, Poland on May 19–22, 2019, this book bridges issues in quality engineering with concepts of ergonomics and sociology, thus offering a timely, practice-oriented guide to both the engineers and managers of the future.

This book covers a variety of topics in manufacturing, with a special emphasis on product design, production planning, and implementation of both resources and production processes. The content is based on papers presented at the 6th International Scientific Technical Conference MANUFACTURING 2019, held in Poznan, Poland on May 19-22, 2019. The main focus is on showing best practices to use tools currently available in the enterprises to effectively improving industrial processes.  Knowledge and production flow management, decision-making systems, production leveling, enterprise efficiency, as well as maintenance, modeling and simulation of production processes are just some of the topics discussed in this book, which offers a timely and practice-oriented reference guide for applied researchers, product engineers and product managers.

This book reports on innovative strategies for quality control, risk assessment and sustainable development in production processes, in the era of industry 4.0. Based on peer-reviewed contributions to the 7th International Scientific-Technical Conference MANUFACTURING 2022, held on May 16–19, 2022, in Poznan, Poland, the chapters cover important topics relating to the use of quality management strategies in different stages of the production processes. They report on methods for statistical process control, vision control and inspection of machines, on the application of machine learning methods in quality control and/or risk assessment, on issues relating to digital transformation, and on methods to improve occupational safety. Besides industrial applications, the book also discusses the use quality management tools for educational purposes. By bridging between concepts in quality engineering, ergonomics, digitalization and industry 4.0, this book offers an authoritative source ofinformation for researchers, engineers and managers.

This book covers timely topics in quality engineering, with a special focuses on issues relating to Industry 4.0 and 5.0. Based on peer-reviewed contributions to the 8th International Scientific-Technical Conference MANUFACTURING 2024, held on May 14–16, 2024, in Poznan, Poland, the chapters describe advanced engineering methods for managing quality and risk at different stages of the product lifecycle. They discusses the role of the sustainable development aspect in supply chain, in the context of product and business planning, production, and transportation, and the principles and best practices of circular economy. They also highlight the role of the human factor in Industry 5.0, and  discuss educational issues. All in all, this book provides both researchers and practitioners with a timely guide on research in the broad area of quality engineering, covering human and environmental aspects of industrial production, and risk-based management methods.

This book covers a variety of topics in material, mechanical, and management engineering, especially in the area of machine design, product assembly, measurement systems, process planning and quality control. It describes cutting-edge methods and applications, together with exemplary case studies. The content is based on papers presented at the 5th International Scientific-Technical Conference (MANUFACTURING 2017) held in Poznan, Poland on 24-26 October 2017. The book brings together engineering and economic topics, is intended as an extensive, timely and practice-oriented reference guide for researchers and practitioners, and is expected to foster better communication and closer cooperation between universities and their business and industry partners.
