《柔性服務與制造》雜志，前身為《國際柔性制造系統(tǒng)雜志》，其使命是在服務與制造管理領域發(fā)表原創(chuàng)、高質量的研究論文。該領域的所有方面，包括工程和管理之間的接口，服務和制造系統(tǒng)的設計和分析，以及業(yè)務規(guī)劃和決策支持，都包括在內。該雜志尋求的論文，有明確的重點，在實際的商業(yè)世界的適用性，包括各種服務和制造業(yè)，如在物流，運輸，醫(yī)療保健，制造業(yè)為基礎的服務，生產(chǎn)計劃和控制，供應鏈管理。應該從最廣泛的意義上理解靈活性，即系統(tǒng)通過改進決策和業(yè)務開發(fā)過程以及啟用IT解決方案來響應環(huán)境變化的能力。該雜志是跨學科的性質考慮工作從管理科學，工業(yè)工程，運籌學以及其他學科，有助于理解，發(fā)展和改善服務和制造系統(tǒng)。該雜志的目標是發(fā)表與服務業(yè)和制造業(yè)的研究人員和從業(yè)人員相關的論文。主題可以包括但不限于以下領域:過程和制造業(yè)的運營管理生產(chǎn)計劃與控制生產(chǎn)系統(tǒng)監(jiān)控服務組織的運營管理營運策略及發(fā)展服務和制造設施的設計服務和制造系統(tǒng)的性能評估和生產(chǎn)力分析供應鏈管理物流、運輸和倉儲多式聯(lián)運和交通系統(tǒng)基于計算機的計劃系統(tǒng)衛(wèi)生保健系統(tǒng)服務和制造業(yè)的建模和仿真基于制造的服務和基于服務的嵌入式制造服務和制造的決策和業(yè)務開發(fā)流程評論和調查案例研究所有發(fā)表在《靈活服務與制造業(yè)》雜志上的論文都要經(jīng)過首次編輯篩選，然后至少有兩名匿名評審人員進行嚴格的同行評審。

The mission of the Flexible Services and Manufacturing Journal, formerly known as the International Journal of Flexible Manufacturing Systems, is to publish original, high-quality research papers in the field of services and manufacturing management. All aspects in this field including the interface between engineering and management, the design and analysis of service and manufacturing systems as well as operational planning and decision support are covered. The journal seeks papers that have a clear focus on the applicability in the real business world including all kinds of services and manufacturing industries, e.g. in logistics, transportation, health care, manufacturing-based services, production planning and control, and supply chain management. Flexibility should be understood in its widest sense as a system’s ability to respond to changes in the environment through improved decision making and business development procedures and enabling IT solutions.The journal is interdisciplinary in nature considering work from Management Science, Industrial Engineering, Operations Research as well as other disciplines that contribute to the understanding, development and improvement of service and manufacturing systems. It is the aim of the journal to publish papers which are relevant to both researchers and practitioners in the world of services and manufacturing. Topics could include, but are not limited to areas such as the following: Operations management in process and manufacturing industries Production planning and control Monitoring and control of manufacturing system Operations management in service organizations Operations strategy and development Design of services and manufacturing facilities Performance evaluation and productivity analysis of services and manufacturing systems Supply chain management Logistics, transportation and warehousing Intermodal transportation and traffic systems Computer-based planning systems Health care systems Modelling and simulation in services and manufacturing industries Manufacturing-based service and service-embedded manufacturing Decision making and business development procedures for services and manufacturing Reviews and surveys Case studies All papers appearing in the Flexible Services and Manufacturing Journal undergo a first editorial screening followed by a rigorous peer review by at least two anonymous referees.
