Robust Manufacturing Control:

Robustness and Resilience in Global Manufacturing Networks

Scope:

Today, global production networks are confronted with multi-scale changes, which deeply influence logistic target achievement and call for robust design, planning, and control strategies.

Topics of interest:

We invite all researchers to contribute fundamental and applied research work to this special issue by submitting their reports on approaches coping with the outlined challenges for global production networks.

The following topics (and related) are of special interest:

Effects of fluctuations on networks

Robust production planning and control

Advanced statistical methods in production networks

bio-inspired methods in logistics, biomimetics

local information versus global information in networks

influence of network architectures on logistics target achievement

data mining and time series analysis in logistics

logistics pattern analysis by interdisciplinary approaches (e.g. auditory display, pertubation ecology) and advanced classical approaches

global production in non-equilibrium states

Submission Details:

The final submission deadline is June 30, 2015.
