In order to realise the goal of TQCSEFK (fastest Time-to-market, highest Quality, lowest Cost, best Service, cleanest Environment, greatest Flexibility, and highest levels of Knowledge), manufacturing enterprises have to realise the change from production-oriented manufacturing to service-oriented manufacturing, and cooperate with other enterprises to make full use of global manufacturing resources and the capabilities in their production.

   Objectives

IJSCOM aims:

• To establish channels of communication and disseminate knowledge between academics, researchers, educators, policy makers, executives and practitioners working in the interdisciplinary fields of manufacturing information, internet, control systems, operational research and management
• To further the theory and technology in these fields to be used in manufacturing, and to accelerate the development of manufacturing
• To enable IT services and advanced computing to perform manufacturing services more efficiently and effectively

   Readership

IJSCOM is a global forum to help policy makers, executives, academics, educators, researchers and practitioners working in the interdisciplinary fields of manufacturing, information, operational research, simulation, industrial informatics and management science to discuss important ideas and concepts, to disseminate information and to learn from each other’s work.

   Contents

IJSCOM primarily publishes original, empirical and review papers; case studies; conference and technology reports; and new book reviews. In addition to the regular issues of the journal, IJSCOM publishes Special Issues devoted to important topics in the areas listed above.
