Advances in Production Management Systems. Production Management Systems for Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous Environments

The six-volume set IFIP AICT 728-729 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 43rd IFIP WG 5.7 International Conference on Advances in Production Management Systems, APMS 2024, held in Chemnitz, Germany, during September 8-12, 2024.

The 201 full papers presented together were carefully reviewed and selected from 224 submissions. The APMS 2024 conference proceedings are organized into six volumes, covering a large spectrum of research addressing the overall topic of the conference "Production Management Systems for Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous Environments".

Part I: advancing eco-efficient and circular industrial practices; barriers and challenges for transition towards circular and sustainable production processes and servitized business models; implementing the EU green deal: challenges and solutions for a sustainable supply chain; risk analysis and sustainability in an uncertain system in a digital era.

Part II: smart and sustainable supply chain management in the society 5.0 era; human-centred manufacturing and logistics systems design and management for the operator 5.0; inclusive work systems design: applying technology to accommodate individual workers' needs; evolving workforce skills and competencies for industry 5.0; experiential learning in engineering education.

Part III: lean thinking models for operational excellence and sustainability in the industry 4.0 era; human in command - operator 4.0/5.0 in the age of AI and robotic systems; hybrid intelligence - decision-making for AI-enabled industry 5.0; mechanism design for smart and sustainable supply chains.  

Part IV: digital transformation approaches in production and management; new horizons for intelligent manufacturing systems with IoT, AI, and digital twins.

Part V: smart manufacturing assets as drivers for the twin transition towards green and digital business; engineering and managing AI for advances in asset lifecycle and maintenance management; transforming engineer-to-Order projects, supply chains, and systems in turbulent times; methods and tools to achieve the digital and sustainable servitization of manufacturing companies; open knowledge networks for smart manufacturing; applications of artificial intelligence in manufacturing; intralogistics.

Part VI:  modelling supply chain and production systems; resilience management in supply chains; digital twin concepts in production and services; optimization; additive manufacturing; advances in production management systems.
