Focus and Scope

The Journal of Applied Manufacturing Technology (JAMT) focuses on the advancement of applied manufacturing technology and engineering practice, emphasizing the integration of scientific principles with real-world industrial implementation. The journal serves as a scholarly platform that bridges manufacturing engineering theory and practical application, supporting innovation, productivity improvement, and technological transformation in manufacturing environments.

JAMT welcomes original research articles, applied studies, case-based analyses, and technological evaluationsrelated to, but not limited to, the following areas:

• Applied Manufacturing Processes
  Including machining, forming, casting, joining, additive manufacturing, hybrid manufacturing processes, and process parameter optimization based on experimental or industrial data.

• Production Systems and Manufacturing Operations
  Covering production planning and control, capacity analysis, line balancing, scheduling, inventory systems, and operational efficiency improvement in manufacturing settings.

• Digital and Smart Manufacturing
  Encompassing Industry 4.0 and 5.0 applications such as cyber-physical systems, digital twins, IoT-enabled manufacturing, automation, robotics, data-driven manufacturing, and AI-based decision support systems.

• Quality Engineering and Process Improvement
  Including statistical quality control, Six Sigma, Lean manufacturing, Kaizen, FMEA, SPC, and continuous improvement methodologies supported by quantitative analysis.

• Manufacturing Technology Innovation
  Addressing the development, adaptation, and evaluation of new manufacturing technologies, tools, equipment, and methods that enhance productivity, flexibility, and competitiveness.

• Sustainable and Green Manufacturing
  Focusing on energy-efficient manufacturing, waste reduction, circular economy practices, life cycle assessment (LCA), environmentally conscious process design, and sustainability-oriented manufacturing strategies.

• Industrial Engineering Applications in Manufacturing Environments
  Including work system design, ergonomics, human–machine interaction, operations research applications, simulation, optimization, supply chain integration, and performance measurement in manufacturing systems.

JAMT prioritizes manuscripts that demonstrate strong practical relevance, clear engineering implementation, and measurable industrial impact, such as productivity gains, cost reduction, quality improvement, energy efficiency, or sustainability performance. Submissions are expected to present quantitative evidence, real-case applications, experimental validation, or implementation-based outcomes that contribute directly to manufacturing practice and industrial advancement.
