Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
While the pursuit of productivity and efficiency in industry has resulted in the development of infrastructure, our social interests have shifted to sustainability, which respects environmental issues, people’s fundamental rights, cultural diversity, human well-being, and the equality of human life. Manufacturers need to expand their views, from competitive product development to systemic transformation, in a way that can satisfy these new interests and demands. To achieve this, manufacturers should contribute to realizing sustainable socio-technical systems, which are dynamic and self-organizing relationships on personal, organizational, and social levels.
For this Special Issue, entitled “Design and Management of Sustainable Products, Industrial and Manufacturing Systems—2nd Edition”, we invite the submission of articles that foster discussion regarding the design and development of products, product–service systems, and manufacturing systems that will contribute to a sustainable society, management strategies for sustainable development, and the design and innovation of resilient socio-technical systems. This area of interest also includes servitization using smart technologies, such as cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and cyber-physical systems (CPS).
Articles selected for this Special Issue will be subject to a rigorous peer-review procedure, with the aim of achieving the rapid and wide dissemination of research results, developments, and applications.
