Dear Colleagues:

You are cordially invited to participate in the 47th CIRP Conference on Manufacturing Systems (CMS 2014) organized by the Intelligent Manufacturing Systems Centre and will take place in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

The theme of the conference is “Variety Management in Manufacturing”.  The desire to generate added value to consumers by offering product variants which satisfy various market segments and fulfill the need for more customization and personalization poses significant challenges to designers, planners and manufactures. The CMS 2014 conference will provide a forum for sharing industrial experiences and research results related to this theme and an opportunity for discussions and networking.

The strong International Scientific Committee will ensure high quality contributions and wide participation. The conference organizers are committed to making your participation is both enjoyable and academically stimulating. 

On behalf of the CMS organization team members, we extend to each and every one a warm invitation. We look forward to welcoming all of you during the CMS 2014 Conference. Windsor, Canada.

See you in Windsor,

Hoda ElMaraghy & Waguih ElMaraghy

Co-Chairs, 47th CIRP CMS Conference
