2. The special issue The goal of the special issue is to make a state-of-play of some recent advances and to discuss some future perspectives related to the three main trends mentioned in the first section with a focus on ICT, information system, knowledge management and performance assessment perspectives. It cannot be exhaustive because a thorough state-of-the-art of all sub-domains mentioned above applied to production research would have made a too large scope.

Submissions have been solicited on the basis of a call for papers published on the IJPR website but also on personal invitations by the associate and guest editors. The call was quite successful with 49 papers submitted. Finally, 17 papers have been accepted for publication. All papers have been peer-reviewed by 2 to 4 reviewers and have been subject to 2 to 3 revision rounds.

Starting from a management perspective, the special issue opens with a paper on performance measurement and management (PMM) by Bourne, Franco-Santos, Micheli and Pavlov. After reviewing the current dominant paradigm in PMM (viewing organisations as ‘monolithic’ systems made of interconnected parts), the paper advocates for a novel perspective that considers PMM from a ‘system of systems’ (SoS) point of view, whose essential characteristics are autonomy, belonging, connectivity, diversity, and emergence. The move towards collaborative, smart, decentralised and more agile manufacturing systems should justify the approach in a near future.
