Advancing manufacturing processes research at NAMRC 46
2018
Research on manufacturing processes is further enriched and becomes stronger at the 46th North American Manufacturing Research Conference (NAMRC 46) at Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, USA. Manufacturing processes are tightly connected to innovation. They have been the key areas that support and influence a nation’s competitiveness and economy since the eighteenth century. As the primary driving force behind economic growth, manufacturing processes enable and facilitate innovative products realisation, ranging from heavy-duty machinery to smart home electronics. In the past centuries, they have contributed significantly to modern civilisation and created the momentum that driv…
Special Issue of Journal of Manufacturing Processes on Advancing Manufacturing Processes Research at NAMRC 46
2018
During the refereeing process of papers submitted to NAMRC 46 this year, nine high-quality papers have been selected and fast-tracked to a special issue of Journal of Manufacturing Processes (JMP) entitled “Advancing Manufacturing Processes Research at NAMRC 46”. The selection of the fast-track papers was based on authors’ preferences, quality of the papers, reviewers’ recommendations, Track Chairs’ picks, pre-selection by the Chair of NAMRI/SME Scientific Committee, and final approval by the JMP Editor. The nine papers published in JMP are therefore excluded from the Proceedings of NAMRC 46 in Procedia Manufacturing. Nevertheless, these papers are presented in person at NAMRC 46. Details o…

New trends in manufacturing processes research
2019
Research on manufacturing processes is further enriched and becomes stronger at the 47th North American Manufacturing Research Conference (NAMRC 47) at Penn State University, The Behrend College, Erie, Pennsylvania USA. Innovation is fundamentally connected to products or processes: the former being rarer and more difficult to be obtained, the latter is definitively related to economy, competitiveness and welfare of a nation. Furthermore, the research and success in innovation of processes permit also the proposition of innovative products. Manufacturing processes engineering is of primary interest for industries and new challenges are faced every day in order to reduce costs, increase comp…
Advancing manufacturing systems research at NAMRC 46
2018
Research on manufacturing systems is further enriched and becomes stronger at the 46th North American Manufacturing Research Conference (NAMRC 46) at Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, USA. Advancing manufacturing systems is more prevalent than before due to recent industrial revolution (or Industry 4.0), continuous business decentralisation and needs for better overall resource efficiency and effectiveness. Manufacturers are competing in a global, dynamic marketplace that demands excellence in quality and service, throughput, innovativeness, agility in production, short response time to changing markets, and tight profitable margins. In the 21st century, manufacturing will be g…

Latest manufacturing technologies are more prevalent thanbefore due to recent industrial revolution (or Industry 4.0), continu-ous business decentralization and needs for better overall resourceefficiency and effectiveness. Manufacturers are competing in aglobal, dynamic marketplace that demands excellence in qual-ity and service, throughput, innovativeness, agility in production,short response time to changing markets, and tight profitable mar-gins. In the 21 st century, manufacturing will be gradually pushedtowards a distributed environment with increasing dynamism oruncertainty. It is envisioned that Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS),Cloud Manufacturing, Internet of Things, and Big Data Analy…

Smart and resilient manufacturing in the wake of COVID-19.
2021
Since 2020, manufacturers have been facing unprecedented and extraordinary challenges with the COVID-19 outbreak, which severely disrupted manufacturing operations around the world. Some manufac- turers have shifted gears to help address dire shortages during the coronavirus pandemic. Others were thrown into deep unknowns and faced with the grim prospect of being closed down. We have seen a sprawling network of multinationals and local businesses step in to fill a void by using 3D printers to make personal protective equipment (PPE) such as face shields, respirator masks, nasal swabs and even ventilator parts. Large manufacturers attempted to rejig parts of their production lines to mass-pr…
