Springer Advances in Production Management Systems. Production Management Systems for Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous Environments: 43rd IFIP WG ... and Communication Technology, 728)

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.
