Preface.
The International Conference on Production Research has a good tradition:
The fIrst Conference was held in Birmingham 1971 with 61 participants.
With respect to the decision that the Conference should be held every
second year, by this time the Conference has been held in the following
countries: Birmingham (1971, UK), Copenhagen (1973, Denmark),
Amhurst (1975, USA), Tokyo (1977, Japan), Amsterdam (1979, The
Netherlands), Novi Sad (1981, Yugoslavia), Windsor (1983, Canada),
Stuttgart (1985, Germany), and the next Conference will take place in
Cincinnatti (1987, USA).
The number of submitted abstracts and papers was continuously increas
ing such that the Programme Committee of this actual 8th Conference
on Production Research has been forced to introduce a further refereeing
procedure. Each submitted abstract was presented to at least two referees.
This resulted not only in a reduction of the number of presented full
papers and poster contributions but, as the Programme Committee and
the Editiors hope, it led also to a considerable increase in the scientifIc
quality of this 8th International Conference on Production Research.
The preceeding conference in Windsor, Canada, was dedicated to the
topic: Production Research as a Means of Productivity Improvement. We
don't believe that this statement has become untrue in the meanwhile.
As a consequence of the task of Production Research we can learn from
the development of new technology that the Factory of the Future is
not only designed and controled by productivity improvement but also by
completly new solutions which have the force to integrate the new
information technology, the management, the organization and the
production technology.
Therefore the objectives of the 8th International Conference on Produc
tion Research are to support the international exchange of experience
about outstanding industrial development and the latest results of
production research.
We hope you enjoy stuying the Proceedings of the 8th International
Conference on Production Research as much as the results of this
Conference may be useful for your research and practizing.

A word of welcome from Minister-President Lothar Spath
for the ICPR (International Conference on Production Research)
in Stuttgart, August 20 - 22, 1985.
Following the process of technical evolution which characterized the
late 19th Century and the first half of the 20th Century, the industriali
zed nations are now faced with a series of new challenges posed by
technological progress and the economic change such progress inevitably
involves. The changing scene is characterized on the one hand by the
industrialization of the developing and threshold countries and on the
other by competition between the industrialized nations in the search
for new and better products. Against this backdrop, an export-oriented
country must be aiming to recognize in advance the direction in which
the market is heading and to act accordingly and in good time, by
changing the range of goods manufactured.
This explains why product technology, the quality of manufacturing,
marketing, after sales service and a flexible response to specific
customer requirements are the decisive parameters in the competition
for market shares.
The strategic answer to improving one's competitive position lies, as I
see it, in bringing about a marked increase in innovation; in promoting
the flow of technological know-how from the universities to - above
all- medium-sized industry; in channelling basic research towards
specific goals and in pursuing public policies designed to further the
process of innovation.
In these areas the Government of Baden-Wiirttemberg has generated new
impulses by re-orientating its promotion of the economy, by furthering
the transfer of technological know-how and by increasing the means
available for research.
The international conference "Toward the factory of the future" is
focussing on important technological developments in flexible and
integrated systems for the production and planning sectors of the factory
of the future; developments of particular significance for an industrialized
nation.
I am especially pleased that this year's conference is taking place in
Baden-WUrttemberg, in a certain sense at the very heart of Europe.
I hope that the conference will prove a success, producing useful results
for both science and industry, and would like to wish all participants a
pleasant stay in our Land of Baden-Wiirttemberg. ~ ~
