What is Foreword about?
Manufacturing and logistics are facing ongoing transformational changes. The introduction of new technologies and the advances in equipment intelligence capability are having profound effects on production and logistics in practice. New solutions for manufacturing and logistics are evolving to respond to various needs. In particular, production and services are transformed from vertically integrated firms for productbased business into virtual collaborations of horizontal modular partners, while huge amounts of data are increasingly accumulated due to business integration. Soft computing and decision technologies are being developed to analyze data and to design intelligent algorithms that enable automated manufacturing and logistics systems to control work flow, material flow, and information flow of the global supply chain and international manufacturing networks. By seamless integration of intelligence and decision technologies, Intelligent Manufacturing & Logistics Systems have been completely changing the way we manage our factories, logistics, outsourcing, and supply chain networks. This special issue of the Computers and Industrial Engineering (C&IE) aims to address the crit
