About the Journal
International Journal of Manufacturing and Production Engineering International Journal of Manufacturing and Production Engineering is a peer-reviewed hybrid online journal launched in 2023 that features aspects of production engineering including production planning and control, manufacturing technology, and precision manufacturing, the journal also covers operation management and supply chain organization. The impetus of the journal relies upon providing a platform for researchers and scholars to publish their findings, be it in experimental or theoretical form, and to facilitate the process of scientific communication and to spread the idea of production engineering.
