This book introduces the core framework of Intelligent Manufacturing Engineering an emerging STEM discipline that integrates mechanical engineering, operations research, and AI. It defines the field through three key pillars: relationships as its essence, Deep Operations Research as its logic, and a new guidelines as its outcome.
As the first monograph on Intelligent Manufacturing Engineering, the book offers intuitive logic, concise algorithms, and accessible mathematical reasoning. It is ideal for students in engineering, mathematics, and computer science, and serves as a valuable reference for professionals engaged in intelligent manufacturing system R&D.
List of contents
Introduction.- Design Basics - underlying modeling logic.- Design target - Extracting problems and constraints.- Design object - Intelligent manufacturing modules.- Design method.- Design Process - 8D report.
About the author
Professor Yong Li, Ph.D, from Shandong University of Science and Technology in China, possesses expertise in mathematics, mechanics, polymer science, intelligent manufacturing, and related fields. As the CEO & CTO of a listed company, he has successfully established a tire intelligent manufacturing factory. Transitioning from industry to academia, by delving into the "black box" of enterprise product development and conducting an in-depth analysis of underlying issues, he has proposed the Deep Operations Research methodologies, which form the underlying logic of the book. As the first or corresponding author, he has authored 28 academic papers.
