A propos de cet article

Hardcover. Enterprise Networks and Logistics for Agile Manufacturing presents a focused collection of quality chapters on state-of-the-art research efforts in the areas of enterprise networks and logistics, as well as their practical applications towards agile manufacturing.With the increasing decentralisation of manufacturing systems and outsourcing of processes, more robust and practical approaches and systems are needed to support agile manufacturing operations. Enterprise Networks and Logistics for Agile Manufacturing consists of two major sections: the first presents a broad-based review of the key areas of research in enterprise networks and logistics; the second focuses on an in-depth treatment of a particular methodology or system relevant to the book title. Examples include: sustainable green supply chain; value creation and supplier selection; extended enterprise network management; reverse logistics; and innovative supply chain systems.The authors take into account the need to pose intellectual challenges while retaining a balanced approach in terms of scope versus depth and theory versus applications.Enterprise Networks and Logistics for Agile Manufacturing can be beneficial to academic researchers, practicing engineers and managers, and graduate students with an interest in any manufacturing sectors. It can enable them to better understand the present state and future trends of research in this important area, in order to position themselves strategically for future challenges as we enter the era of agile and distributed manufacturing. Enterprise Networks and Logistics for Agile Manufacturing presents a focused collection of quality chapters on state-of-the-art research efforts in the areas of enterprise networks and logistics, as well as their practical applications towards agile manufacturing.

Synopsis

With increasingly decentralized manufacturing systems and outsourcing, more robust and practical approaches and systems are needed to support agile manufacturing operations. Enterprise Networks and Logistics for Agile Manufacturing presents a focused collection of quality chapters on the state-of-the-art research efforts in the area of enterprise network and logistics, as well as their practical applications towards agile manufacturing. The book describes recent developments and innovations in this area, presenting both a broad-based review of the key areas of research in agile manufacturing, and an in-depth treatment of individual methodologies and systems from enterprise networks and logistics to supply chain scheduling and management.

Enterprise Networks and Logistics for Agile Manufacturing will benefit a broad readership from academic researchers to practicing engineers across all manufacturing sectors.
