Springer Innovation In Manufacturing Networks2008 Edition by Américo Azevedo
Innovation in Manufacturing Networks A fundamental concept of the emergent business scientific and technological paradigms ces area innovation the ability to apply new ideas to products processes organizational practices and business models - is crucial for the future competitiveness of organizations in a continually increasingly globalised knowledge-intensive marketplace. Responsiveness agility as well as the high performance of manufacturing systems is responsible for the recent changes in addition to the call for new approaches to achieve cost-effective responsiveness at all the levels of an enterprise. Moreover creating appropriate frameworks for exploring the most effective synergies between human potential and automated systems represents an enormous challenge in terms of processes characterization modelling and the development of adequate support tools. The implementation and use of Automation Systems requires an ever increasing knowledge of enabling technologies and Business Practices. Moreover the digital and networked world will surely trigger new business practices. In this context and in order to achieve the desired effective and efficiency performance levels it is crucial to maintain a balance between both the technical aspects and the human and social aspects when developing and applying new innovations and innovative enabling technologies. BASYS conferences have been developed and organized so as to promote the development of balanced automation systems in an attempt to address the majority of the current open issues.
