European Journal of Industrial Engineering�Vol. 2, No. 1

The main goal of�EJIE�is to present state of-the-art, high quality, research developments in all areas of industrial engineering, including applications in industry and services, to a broad audience of academics and professionals. Target areas include manufacturing, operations management, product and process design, information systems, business and strategy, and quality management amongst others.
In order to bridge the gap between theory and practice, applications and case studies are particularly welcome. As regards theoretical papers, originality and research contributions will be regarded as key during the evaluation process.
The Editorial Board is committed to a quick and swift process of less than 10 weeks (from submission to initial decision) ensuring not only that authors know the outcome of the evaluation process as soon as possible but also that the latest developments and advances are made available without delay to professionals, academics, researchers, and practitioners.
