Symmetry in Industrial Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

Symmetry/asymmetry phenomena commonly occur in industry. Those phenomena may or may not be clear to humans. Information concerning the symmetry or asymmetry phenomena in industry helps to identify ways and solutions to improve its operation. This Special Issue invites all researchers and scholars to submit their research findings so as to share the knowledge on the symmetry/asymmetry phenomena related to industry. Papers concerning theories, applications of methodologies, and systematic reviews in all aspects of industrial engineering are welcomed. This includes, but is not limited to, manufacturing techniques, operation management, process and materials flow, scheduling of work process, quality control, facility layout and planning, work system design, work envieronment management, safety and health at work, worker/operator behaviors, and so on.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
