International Journal of Production Research

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.
