Modern products are increasingly relying on sophisticated design and manufacture process. People give rise to the concern about the development management and operations & maintenance for complex equipment. This is an emerging field that crosses multiple disciplines including system science, automotive,information technology, mechanical engineering, management science and engineering, etc. The research on this field will promote the rapid development of complex equipment.
This special issue aims to foster the dissemination of high quality research in complex equipment development management and its operations &maintenance.Original research articles are solicited in collaborative innovation, supply chain management, quality and reliability management, after-sale service, operations and maintenance, risk and so on.Topics of interestinclude, but are not limited to:
l Collaborative innovation of complex equipment development
l Supply chain managementof complex equipment
l Quality management and quality control for complex equipment
l Reliability management for complex equipment development and maintenance
l Quality-orienteddesign for complex equipment
