First issue: European Journal of Industrial Engineering

The first issue of the European Journal of Industrial Engineering has just been published.

This is an international quarterly journal aimed at disseminating the latest developments in all areas of industrial engineering, including information and service industries, ergonomics and safety, quality management as well as business and strategy, and at bridging the gap between theory and practice.

The main goal of the journal is to present high quality research developments in all areas of industrial engineering, as well as their applications in industry and services, to a broad audience of academics and practitioners. Targeted areas include manufacturing, operations management, product and process design, information systems, business and strategy, and quality management, among others.

In order to bridge the gap between theory and practice, applications and case studies are particularly welcome. For theoretical papers, their originality and research contributions are the main factors in the evaluation process. The Editorial Board is committed to a quick process of less than 10 weeks (from submission to the initial decision) so that the latest developments and advances are available without delay to professionals, academics, researchers and practitioners and so that authors will be able to know the evaluation of their work within a short time.

EJIE provides a platform for the dissemination of information, knowledge, and new developments among professionals, academics, researchers, practitioners and policy makers working in the broad field of industrial engineering.
