STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced that it will start publishing the Journal of Manufacturing Systems and Journal of Manufacturing Processes on behalf of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), effective October 2007. The global publisher will distribute both titles to an international audience via ScienceDirect, its online database of science, technology and medicine full text and bibliographic information.
Both titles will publish relevant literature for manufacturing industries, research and development organisations and the SME membership on the underlying theory and application methodologies of integrating established and developing manufacturing processes, equipment, and software into systems. Articles encourage the dissemination of scientific methods to shop-floor personnel on systems and process concepts with the potential of decreasing manufacturing costs, increasing productivity and assuring product quality.
The Society of Manufacturing Engineers is claimed to be one of the world's leading professional societies supporting manufacturing education. Through its member programmes, publications, expositions and professional development resources, SME promotes an increased awareness of manufacturing engineering and helps keep manufacturing professionals up to date on leading trends and technologies.
