Abstract

The emergence of disruptive technologies in industrial production is one of the key features of the fourth industrial revolution that forms the foundation of super smart societies. Mobile manufacturing capacity is one such technology. The goal of this chapter is to discuss the value of production capacity mobility and existing solution methods to optimize the logistics of large scale production-inventory systems with mobile production units.
