Introduction

This book aims to provide recent achievements in the efficient design and operation of industrial and logistics systems. To achieve excellence, digital transformation is currently an essential path for systems reengineering. This path is still in an exploratory phase for industrial and logistics systems, as they cover a wide range of sectors and are composed of several complementary views.

Scope and Approach

Thus, this book reconciles classic methods with modern ones based on digital transformation and Industry 4.0 technologies, which aim to optimize, improve, restructure, and evaluate a broad scope of systems, focusing on their four complementary views: operational, informational, technological, and decisional.

Intended Audience

It is intended for researchers and postgraduates in industrial engineering and logistics, professionals in senior management positions in industrial and logistics companies, as well as undergraduates in industrial and logistics engineering programs.
