Advances in Production Engineering & Management (APEM journal) is an interdisciplinary international academic journal published quarterly. The main goal of the APEM journal is to present original, high quality, theoretical and application-oriented research developments in all areas of production engineering and production management to a broad audience of academics and practitioners. In order to bridge the gap between theory and practice, applications based on advanced theory and case studies are particularly welcome. For theoretical papers, their originality and research contributions are the main factors in the evaluation process. General approaches, formalisms, algorithms or techniques should be illustrated with significant applications that demonstrate their applicability to real-world problems. Please note the APEM journal is not intended especially for studying problems in the finance, economics, business, and bank sectors even though the methodology in the paper is quality/project management oriented. Therefore, the papers should include a substantial level of engineering issues in the field of manufacturing engineering. Fields of interest include, but are not limited to: Additive Manufacturing ProcessesAdvanced Production TechnologiesArtificial Intelligence in ProductionAssembly SystemsAutomationBig Data in ProductionComputer-Integrated ManufacturingCutting and Forming ProcessesDecision Support SystemsDeep learning in ManufacturingDiscrete Systems and Methodologye-ManufacturingEvolutionary Computation in ProductionFuzzy SystemsHuman Factor Engineering, ErgonomicsIndustrial EngineeringIndustrial ProcessesIndustrial RoboticsIntelligent Manufacturing SystemsInventory ManagementJoining ProcessesKnowledge ManagementLogistics in ProductionMachine Learning in Production Machine ToolsMachining SystemsManufacturing SystemsMaterials Sciences, MultidisciplinaryMechanical EngineeringMechatronicsMetrology in ProductionModelling and SimulationNumerical TechniquesOperations ResearchOperations Planning, Scheduling and ControlOptimisation TechniquesProject ManagementQuality ManagementRisk and UncertaintySelf-Organising SystemsSupply Chain ManagementVirtual Reality in Production

《生產工程與管理進展》(APEM journal)是一本跨領域的國際學術期刊，每季出版一期。APEM雜志的主要目標是向廣大學者和實踐者展示生產工程和生產管理各個領域的原創、高質量、理論和應用導向的研究進展。為了彌補理論和實踐之間的差距，特別歡迎基于先進理論和案例研究的應用。對于理論論文來說，原創性和研究貢獻是評價過程中的主要因素。一般方法、形式主義、算法或技術應該用重要的應用程序來說明，以證明它們對現實問題的適用性。請注意，APEM雜志并不是專門為研究金融、經濟、商業和銀行部門的問題而編寫的，盡管本文的方法是以質量/項目管理為導向的。因此，論文應包括制造工程領域的大量工程問題。感興趣的領域包括但不限于：添加劑制造工藝先進的生產技術生產中的人工智能裝配系統自動化生產中的大數據計算機集成制造切割成形工藝決策支持系統制造業的深度學習離散系統和方法論電子化制造生產中的進化計算模糊系統人機工程學工業工程學工業過程工業機器人智能制造系統庫存管理連接過程知識管理生產物流生產中的機器學習機床機械加工系統制造系統材料科學，多學科機械工程機電一體化生產計量學建模與仿真數值技術運籌學運行計劃、調度和控制優化技術項目管理質量管理風險和不確定性自組織系統供應鏈管理生產中的虛擬現實
