Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture

Aims & Scope

Manufacturing industries throughout the world are changing very rapidly.

New concepts and methods are being developed and exploited to enable efficient and effective manufacturing.

Existing manufacturing processes are being improved to meet the requirements of lean and agile manufacturing.

The aim of the Journal of Engineering Manufacture is to provide a focus for these developments in engineering manufacture by publishing original papers and review papers covering technological and scientific research, developments and management implementation in manufacturing.

This journal is also peer reviewed.

Contributions are welcomed in the broad areas of manufacturing processes, manufacturing technology and factory automation, digital manufacturing, design and manufacturing systems including management relevant to engineering manufacture.

Of particular interest at the present time would be papers concerned with digital manufacturing, metrology enabled manufacturing, smart factory, additive manufacturing and composites as well as specialist manufacturing fields like nanotechnology, sustainable & clean manufacturing and bio-manufacturing.
