Keynote Speakers
Prof. Steve Evans (University of Cambridge, UK)
Director of Research in Industrial Sustainability
Steve Evans spent 12 years in industry, rising to become Engineering Systems Manager at Martin-Baker Engineering, the world leading manufacturer of ejection seats. His industrial experience led to an emphasis on improving engineering performance and provided an excellent grounding for tackling complex, real-life problems.
Steve has over 20 years of academic experience which includes working collaboratively with leading industrial and academic institutions from around the globe and supervising over 120 PhD. and MSc. students at Cranfield. His research seeks a deep understanding of how industry develop solutions that move us towards a sustainable future. He researches and conducts projects with organisations to improve their performance in various dimensions.
“A future for manufacturing – from the perspective of sustainability”
Abstract: Manufacturing has delivered wonderful economic success globally, and enabled many to access the products that improve our lives. These economic and social goods have been delivered simultaneously with negative environmental and social impacts. This presentation proposes that the manufacturing sector can learn to balance economic, social and environmental impacts and shows how some leading manufacturers are achieving this already. The next stages of development for the manufacturing sector will form a new industrial revolution and the key dimensions of that revolution are discussed. Possible solutions that will allow manufacturing to be a net-positive contributor are explained, which form a framework for long term industrial sustainability.
Prof. Kathryn E Stecke (University of Texas at Dallas, USA)
Fellow of INFORMS
Dr. Kathryn E. Stecke teaches in the Jindal School of Management at University of Texas at Dallas as the Ashbel Smith Professor of Operations Management. Previously she taught for 21 years at The University of Michigan Business School. She received an M.S. in Applied Mathematics, and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering from Purdue University. She has authored numerous papers on various aspects of FMS planning and scheduling in numerous journals including The FMS Magazine, Material Flow, International Journal of Production Research, European Journal of Operational Research, IIE Transactions, IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management, Annals of Operations Research, Performance Evaluation, International Journal of Strategic Decision Sciences, International Transactions in Operational Research, Naval Research Logistics, Manufacturing and Service Operations Management, Management Science, Operations Research and several proceedings and book contributions. She is the Editor-in-Chief of both the International Journal of Flexible Manufacturing Systems and Operations Management Education Review.
“Seru Production System: An Organizational Extension of JIT” (Note: seru means Japanese style cellular manufacturing)
Abstract: A seru system is a new type of production system, widely used in Japan but unknown outside of Asia. Developed by Sony, it is used in all of Canon’s factories. It is more flexible, efficient, and productive than conventional manufacturing systems, for the industries in which it is appropriate. Seru’s history, development, and benefits will be described and discussed.
Prof. Jian Chen (Tsinghua University, China)
Chair, Department of Management Science and Engineering, Tsinghua University
Professor Chen has authored/co-authored 178 papers in refereed journals, including Annals of Operations Research,Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery,Decision Support Systems,European Journal of Operational Research,IEEE Transaction on System, man and Cybernetics—Part A: systems and human,IIE Transactions,Information Science,International Journal of Production Economics,Omega, The International Journal of Management Science,Naval Research Logistics,Operations Research Letters,Production and Operations Management, Systems Engineering-Theory & Practice, Journal of Management Science in China, etc. Professor Chen has been a principal investigator for over 30 grants or research contracts with National Science Foundation of China, governmental organizations and companies. He has been invited to present several Keynote/Plenary lectures at Conferences.

“Can Me-Too Products Prevail?–Evidence from China”
Abstract: Existing literature in technology learning and capability accumulation has long held the claim that, for a certain period of time in their development, firms in latecomer countries rely on their counterparts in developed countries to get new product ideas. However, existing research in this area is generally based on case studies and historical analyses. We intend to fill this important gap. Using large scale, nationwide survey data from China, we explore specifically whether learning new product ideas from leading firms in foreign countries leads to higher performance results than choosing other sources of ideas in an emerging market at the early stage of its evolution. To assure the robustness of our results, we compare the performance effects from three dimensions: customer-based performance, financial-based performance and technical-based performance. Implications to the managers and policy makers are also discussed.

2013 Asian Conference of Management Science and Applications (ACMSA2013)
December 21-23, 2013, Kunming, Yunnan, China
Organized by: Asian Association of Management and Applications (AAMSA)
Hosted by: Kunming University of Science and Technology (China)
Supported by: EPSRC, Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Industrial Sustainability, University of Cambridge
The 2013 Asian Conference of Management Science and Applications (ACMSA2013) is to provide a forum for exchanging the latest research results related to management science and its applications among researchers and practitioners within and beyond the Asian region. All papers related to theoretical developments and applications of management science are welcome. ACMSA2013 consists of three sections: general sessions and two topic-focused workshops.
The two topic-focused workshops are as follows.
- Sustainable Development & Industrial Sustainability (SD/IS) Workshop
- Lean, Cellular Manufacturing & Seru Production (CM/SP) Workshop
SD/IS-workshop will bring the recent advances in all research directions (e.g., economic, ecological, political and cultural sustainability). CM/SP-workshop will highlight the similarities and differences between Seru with machining and assembly cell. The workshops will also bring researchers and practitioners together to obtain synergy between scientific developments and empirical experiences and needs.
Abstracts or full paper submitted to the conference will be reviewed but only full paper submissions will be considered for post publications. However, authors can submit an abstract only and make a presentation in the conference. All submissions will be included in the conference proceedings (CD-ROM) on the authors’ request. Submissions will be taken with an online submission system. Selected papers will be published on the official journal of AAMSA (Asian Journal of Management Science & Applications), Innovation and Supply Chain Management (ISCM), and INFORMATION: an international interdisciplinary journal. We also recommend papers to International Journal of Innovative Computing, Information and Control (IJICIC), EI-indexed.
