Special issue: Industrial Engineering: Overcoming the crisis. CIO2012
Abstract: This special issue
of the Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management contains a selection of
the papers that were accepted at the CIO2012 International Conference,
developed in Vigo (Spain) under the motto “Industrial Engineering: Overcoming
the Crisis”.
CIO 2012 gives continuity to the series of annual Conferences initiated
in September 1986 in La Rábida (Huelva, Spain). This conference is a very
significant scientific event in Business & Operations Management and
related areas. Researchers, academics, scientists and managers of diverse parts
of the world have the opportunity to exchange experiences, new ideas and
topics, in those fields related to Industrial Engineering.
The 6th International Conference addresses the great multidisciplinary
field formed by Industrial Engineering, from an international point of view.
The papers here presented cover a number of consolidated and emerging
topics of the conference scope and they may help readers to gain a deeper
understanding of how Industrial Engineering could contribute to overcome the
economic crisis.
We would like to express our gratitude to all the authors, reviewers and
the Organizing Committee for their enthusiastic work and magnificent support
during CIO 2012.
