INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PRODUCTION RESEARCH

《国际生产研究杂志》(IJPR)自1961年出版以来，是一份成熟、成功和领先的杂志，报道制造、生产和运营管理的研究。IJPR每年出版24期，包括创新管理、产品设计、制造流程、生产和物流系统方面的论文。研究了生产经济学、生产资源和系统的基本行为以及生产和物流系统的设计、管理和控制中出现的复杂决策问题。制造战略、政策制定和评估以及新技术的贡献也是该杂志关注的主要问题。还考虑了在计算机、决策和数学科学中发展的可用于生产和物流系统的设计、测量或操作的基本技术。IJPR的声誉建立在与工业应用紧密联系的基础上。有说服力的科学结果和清晰的现实应用是论文选择的主要标准。教学文章，提出新的和有趣的生产研究问题或/和新的应用也欢迎。该期刊也发表了重大的理论进展，只要他们的主要概念和有用性被清楚地解释，使生产研究界作为一个整体可以理解他们。此外，我们亦预留了一个特别的位置，让专家发表意见、讨论及邀请文章。IJPR是一份面向机械工程、工业和系统工程、运筹学和管理科学以及商业领域的研究人员和教授的杂志。它也为希望提高其生产系统的效率和效力的工业管理人员提供了有益的参考。所有提交的稿件都要经过编辑的初步评估，如果认为有必要进一步考虑，还要经过至少三位独立的、匿名的专家评审。所有的同行评审都是单盲的，通过ScholarOne手稿在线提交。

The International Journal of Production Research (IJPR), published since 1961, is a well-established, highly successful and leading journal reporting manufacturing, production and operations management research. IJPR is published 24 times a year and includes papers on innovation management, design of products, manufacturing processes, production and logistics systems. Production economics, the essential behaviour of production resources and systems as well as the complex decision problems that arise in design, management and control of production and logistics systems are considered. Manufacturing strategy, policy formulation and evaluation, and the contribution of new technologies are also major concerns of the journal. Fundamental techniques developed in computer, decision and mathematical sciences which can be used in the design, measurement or operation of production and logistics systems are also considered. The reputation of IJPR is based on a strong link with industrial applications. Convincing scientific results with clear real life applications are the principal criteria for the selection of papers. Didactic articles, presenting new and interesting production research problems or/and new applications are also welcome. The journal publishes also major advances in theory, as long as their main concepts and usefulness are clearly explained so that the production research community as a whole can understand them. A special place is reserved to surveys and discussion papers as well as invited articles presented by leading specialists. IJPR is a journal for researchers and professors in mechanical engineering, industrial and systems engineering, operations research and management science, and business. It is also an informative reference for industrial managers looking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their production systems. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by at least three independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
