ISOMA 2002 Theme:
The concept of supply chain management is about managing coordinated information, material and financial flows, plant operations, and logistics. It provides flexibility and agility in responding to consumer demand shifts with minimized cost overlays in resource utilization. The fundamental premise of this philosophy is synchronization of objectives, policies, and actions among multiple autonomous entities represented in it. That is, improved coordination within and between various supply chain members.
There are many applications in manufacturing that is impacted by the supply chain management philosophy. It could influence design through the plug and play method of configuration to achieve mass customization. In addition, in manufacturing and production, the supply chain effects practically every aspect of the product-process interface, which leads to collaborative activities in both the design and manufacturing functions.
Informatics has a major and key role to play in design and modeling of efficient supply chain management frameworks. It provides the opportunity to investigate and develop multi disciplinary approaches to supply chain problem solving. It has the potential to unify technologies in fields of enterprise integration: organization design, production operations management, and information systems in offering integrated methodological solutions.
We seek research and / or applied contributions in the following topics, or other topics in design and manufacturing from academics and practitioners:
Agent Modeling Business Process Reengineering CAD/CAM/CAE Collaborative Manufacturing Computer Integrated Manufacturing Concurrent Enterprising Configuration Management Data and Knowledge Management Data Mining Data Warehousing E-Management E-Manufacturing Manufacturing and Enterprise Integration Enterprise Resource Planning Information Modeling for Manufacturing Systems Intelligent Decision Support Intelligent Manufacturing Knowledge-Based Engineering Mass Customization Modularity in Design Ontology Management Production Systems Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems Product Design and Engineering Scalable Enterprise Engineering Scheduling Simulation Modeling Supply-Chain Management Manufacturing Systems & Engineering
