The objectives of the APMS conference are to share research among leading experts from academia and industry and provide guidelines to pave the way for future manufacturing systems. This year’s theme was “Smart Production Management for Data-driven, Intelligent, Collaborative, and Sustainable Manufacturing.” 198 leading experts from academia and industry participated in the conference, representing 27 countries, including Germany, Norway, Denmark and Japan. Discussions were held on how to integrate emerging smart technologies, such as the Internet, Big Data, Smart City, and virtual reality, into manufacturing and service industries. A doctoral workshop, keynote speeches, and an industry tour were also included in the conference program. This year’s keynote lectures were given by Sang Woo Park, CEO and President of the Korea Land & Housing Corporation and SNU Professor Sungzoon Cho (Department of Industrial Engineering).
