Contemporary manufacturing enterprises aim to deliver a great number of consumer products and systems through friendly and satisfying working environments for people who are involved in manufacturing services. Human-centered design factors, which strongly affect manufacturing processes, as well as the potential end users are crucial for achieving continuous progress in this respect. Researchers around the world attempt to improve the quality of consumer products and working environments. The AHFE International Conference on Advanced Production Management
and Process Control (APMPC) promotes the exchange of ideas and developments in production, sustainability, life cycle, innovation, development, fault diagnostics, and control systems. It addresses a spectrum of theoretical and practical topics. It provides an excellent forum of exploring frontiers between researchers and practitioners from academia and industry. It offers the possibility of discussing research results, innovative applications, and future directions. The AHFE International Conference on Additive Manufacturing, Modeling Systems and 3D Prototyping focused on cutting edge design and manufacturing processes; it welcomes papers that cover articles, case studies, and multidisciplinary studies specifically focused on ergonomics research, design applications, engineering processes, experimental purposes, and theoretical methods applied the themes of Digital Modeling Systems, Additive Manufacturing, and their cross-sectional convergences.
