Machinery and Production Engineering (MaPE - ISSN:0024-919X) is an international scientific monthly research focused journal devoted to current issues relating to product innovative design and manufacturing, holistic modelling, and behaviour improvement through simulations and testing, aided by innovative computer techniques, AI tools, intelligent procedures and state-of-the-art advanced computer control systems, for the efficient precision machining of products according to the current global market demands, Manufacturing technology, Production planning, and control, workforce skills, Management strategies, Casting trend and different machining technology, Tool and precision engineering, Metrology and inspection, Automation and rapid manufacturing, Productivity Enhancement, Maintenance Engineering and Tribology, SMEs, Reliability and quality engineering, Genetic Algorithm, Management of Firms. It favours solutions harmonizing with the up-to-date manufacturing strategies and the quality requirements and needs of production process design, planning, scheduling and management.

The Journal's range of topics also covers the design and improvement of the operation and maintenance of highly efficient precision machines, processes and service systems, the development of control systems for manufacturing machines and processes and the development of software, especially software which significantly enhances the multicriterial performance of machining processes, supporting design development and autonomy implementation.

The Journal publishes primarily papers concerning the design, R&D and operation of innovative production machines, mainly machine tools and their units, but also papers on the development of high-performance manufacturing processes and systems and their real-time diagnosing, monitoring and servicing. Special attention is paid to research on the modelling, numerical simulation and optimization of machining modules, as well as on intelligent forms of the design and high-performance operation of conventional, unconventional, HSC and nanotechnology precision production machines, processes and manufacturing systems, management areas pertaining to the development of production firms.

Papers dealing with forming technology and additive manufacturing and the development of relevant practical applications are also welcome. Moreover, the Journal publishes papers on the development and optimization of manufacturing process planning, online monitoring and robust control, real-time distortions recognition, and errors limitation, compensation and self-compensation using advanced self-learning procedures.

The Journal has five decades of publication history from 1969 till date. Up to 2021 each issue of the latter was devoted to a different topic. Since then the Journal has been more open, covering a broad range of topics, being not limited to one topic per issue. The papers are carefully selected and reviewed by distinguished scientists and recognised experts worldwide, mostly members of the CIRP International Academy for Production Engineering.

The authors of the publications are eminent specialists from around the world who provide best assistance to factories and universities. It enables factories to solve problems and manufacture high quality products at a low cost and fast rate. It enables educators to update their teaching and scientists to deepen their knowledge and pursue research in the right direction. The Journal may prove very interesting and useful for students.
