This book brings together the collection of cutting-edge research articles on
industrial and production engineering from the First International Conference on
Future Learning Aspects for Mechanical Engineering (FLAME), which was organized by Amity University, Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India, from October 3 to 5, 2018.
The primary mission of this conference was to lay a platform that brings together
academicians, scientists, and researchers across the globe to share their scientific
ideas and vision in the areas of thermal, design, industrial, production, and interdisciplinary areas of mechanical engineering. FLAME 2018 played a key role to set up a bridge between academia and industry. The conference hosted almost 550 participants to exchange scientific ideas. During 3 days of the conference, researchers from academics and industries presented the most recent cutting-edge discoveries, went through various scientific brainstorming sessions, and exchanged ideas on practical socioeconomic problems.
This conference also provided a scope to establish a network for joint collaboration
between academia and industry. Major emphasis was focused on the recent
developments and innovations in various fields of mechanical engineering through
plenary lectures.
This book covers the industrial and production engineering areas such as sustainable manufacturing systems, decision sciences, logistics and supply chain management, operations management, computer-aided engineering, rapid prototyping, manufacturing management and automation, metrology, manufacturing
process optimization, machining and machine tools, casting, welding, and forming.
This book caters to the industrial and production engineering aspects, will mainly
serve as a reference guide for researchers and practitioners, and is expected to foster
better communication and closer cooperation between academia and industry
partners.
