Aim and scope Factory of the future is calling for a strategic vision shift. Operations are evolving towards collaborative, value-adding net– works, where complex service-oriented relationships are created and managed. The consequences of this evolution are manifold: • • • 11th International Conference on The Modern Information Technology in the Innovation Processes of the Industrial Enterprises 15-16 October 2009 Bergamo, Italy • • the manufacturers have to manage multiple relationships with several service providers, which are offering different kinds of services, from logistics to maintenance and other support services; the service providers have to effectively manage their own business in a multi-client multi-service context; the physical products and assets in industry are being equip– ped with intelligence in order to guarantee value-adding ser– vices to the customer; the life cycle management is providing a new holistic view for managing business processes through the life cycle phases of both the product / asset and its value-adding services; the supply chain configuration is ever growing in complexity and, since that, the risks induced by the economical crisis and operational disruptions in some of its many parts have to be considered carefully to guarantee business resilience. The purpose of the MITIP 2009 conference is to serve as a forum for the dissemination and exchange of ideas, knowledge and experiences about the above mentioned challenges in the fields of manufacturing and industrial service operations.
