Recent European Commission studies recall the urgency of promoting new and more robust Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), due to the rise of enormous global markets and the emergence of a new industrial system originating from the distinctly different business culture of the Far East.
Distributed production networks are organizational structures considered able to meet the agility and efficiency necessary to compete in the global market.
Modern societies depend on the smooth operation of many complex systems (designed and built by humans) that provide a variety of outputs (products and services).
"e;Hydrogen-based Autonomous Power Systems"e; analyses the introduction of hydrogen energy technologies in autonomous power systems based on renewable energy sources (RES).
Interoperability: the ability of a system or a product to work with other systems or products without special effort from the user is a key issue in manufacturing and industrial enterprise generally.
This book Innovations and the Environment aims to review the state of knowledge and to provide an empirical basis for the development and use of new technologies, products and services to reduce the impact of human activities on environmental quality.
"e;ERP Systems and Organisational Change"e; considers both the social and technical perspectives on ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems, which are now the backbone of the information systems in public and private sector organisations.
Collected here are 112 papers concerned with all manner of new directions in manufacturing systems given at the 41st CIRP Conference on Manufacturing Systems.
