CALL FOR PAPERS

Manufacturing System Design =9197 Conference

Conference Objectives:
The objectives of the Manufacturing System Design '97 Conference
are to present new developments in the field of manufacturing
systems. It provides a unique forum to address problems and new
approaches in the fields of design and evaluation of modern
manufacturing systems and organization structures. This includes
frequent technological and organizational changes, and the need for
accurate initial specification for advanced manufacturing technologies
installation.
The conference structure of sessions will allow participants to follow
their own particular needs. Separate sessions will cover theoretical
aspects and industrial cases. The conference program will leave room
for discussions and exchanges of views. The conference is also a
meeting place for new initiatives for joint work between research and
practice in the field of manufacturing system design.

Conference Topics:
This conference will put special emphasis on the following new
subjects:
- Manufacturing Strategies
- Culture and Manufacturing
- Business, Engineering and Manufacturing Flow Concept
- Intelligent Manufacturing Components
- Global Manufacturing
- Information System Design
- Target and Process Costs
