IJSM proposes and fosters discussion on developing various elements of science-based sustainability principles and their applications in innovative products, processes and systems for manufacturing with emphasis on economic, environmental and societal aspects of sustainability. This covers the biocomplexity of the environment and its associated technological challenges facing the needs of the society for economic growth and prosperity as applied to design and manufacturing of discrete products. Product lifecycle issues involving the development of use of materials and resources for sustained quality requirements and perpetual material flow would form a basis for sustainability applications in product design and manufacture to be promoted by the journal.
 Objectives
The major objectives of IJSM are to establish an effective channel of communication between the academic community of design and manufacturing engineers, social scientists, business, management and marketing researchers, product manufacturers, and the government legislative and regulatory bodies. It also aims to promote and coordinate developments in innovative products, processes and systems for sustainability. The international perspective is emphasised in order to achieve solutions for the global needs for developing the foundations for the sustainable future with a view to sustaining the global economy and the environmental and ecological balance for societal benefits. Readership
IJSM provides a vehicle to help professionals, academics, researchers, product manufacturers and policy makers working in the fields of engineering, social sciences, business economics, marketing and management, to disseminate information and for mutual learning from each other’s work. Contents
- Original, full-length research papers
- Review papers
- Technical communications (work in progress)
- Case studies
- Book reviews
- Special issue papers (generally selected from a major conference or symposium and topic-based special issue with invited papers from prominent researchers)
- State-of-the-art analysis on hot topics by invited experts (in strategically significant areas of relevance)
Subject Coverage
Suitable topics include, but are not limited to:
- Product sustainability assessment/evaluation (metrics, methods, and procedures)
- Product design for sustainability (economic, environmental and societal) covering all aspects of product sustainability
- Lifecycle issues in product design and manufacture (includes multi lifecycle considerations, perpetual life product concepts, etc.)
- Product design and manufacture for societal impact (personnel health, operational safety, security of personnel and systems, professional and work ethics, etc.)
- Environmentally conscious design and manufacturing processes
- Product design for disassembly, reuse, recovery, recycling and remanufacturing
- Manufacturability issues in sustainable product design
- Materials, energy and resource utilisation factors in product design and manufacture for sustainability (lean concepts for sustainability)
- Waste minimisation and management in manufacturing processes
- Product functionality, serviceability, maintainability, and upgradability
- End-of-life and product take-back issues for product design and manufacture
- Engineered innovative product and process designs for sustainability
- Zero- and near-zero land fill designs for manufacture
- Sustainable quality systems in product design and manufacture
- Cross-cutting disciplines for product and process sustainability (e.g., economics, product development logistics, management and marketing of sustainable products, sociological aspects of product and process design and manufacture, etc.)
- Legislative, cultural, societal and political issues in sustainable product design and manufacture
- Integrated manufacturing systems for sustainability
- Education and training of next generation workforce for sustainable manufacturing
