Digital Conversion on the Way to Industry 4.0

This book presents the proceedings from the International Symposium for Production Research 2020. The cross-disciplinary papers presented draw on research from academics and practitioners from industrial engineering, management engineering, operational research, and production/operational management. It explores topics including:

·         computer-aided manufacturing;

• Industry 4.0 applications;
• simulation and modeling
big data and analytics;
• flexible manufacturing systems;
• decision analysis
• quality management
industrial robotics in production systems
• information technologies in production management; and
• optimization techniques.

Presenting real-life applications, case studies, and mathematical models, this book is of interest to researchers, academics,and practitioners in the field of production and operation engineering.
