Management and Production Engineering Review (MPER) is a peer-refereed, international, multidisciplinary journal covering a broad spectrum of topics in production engineering and management. Production engineering is a currently developing stream of science encompassing planning, design, implementation and management of production and logistic systems. Orientation towards human resources factor differentiates production engineering from other technical disciplines. The journal aims to advance the theoretical and applied knowledge of this rapidly evolving field, with a special focus on production management, organisation of production processes, management of production knowledge, computer integrated management of production flow, enterprise effectiveness, maintainability and sustainable manufacturing, productivity and organisation, forecasting, modelling and simulation, decision making systems, project management, innovation management and technology transfer, quality engineering and safety at work, supply chain optimization and logistics. Management and Production Engineering Review is published under the auspices of the Polish Academy of Sciences Committee on Production Engineering and Polish Association for Production Management.
The main purpose of Management and Production Engineering Review is to publish the results of cutting-edge research advancing the concepts, theories and implementation of novel solutions in modern manufacturing. Papers presenting original research results related to production engineering and management education are also welcomed.
We welcome original papers written in English. The Journal also publishes technical briefs, discussions of previously published papers, book reviews, and editorials.
Letters to the Editor-in-Chief are highly encouraged.

Received manuscripts are first examined by the Management and Production
Engineering Review Editors. Manuscripts clearly not suitable for
publication, incomplete or not prepared in the required style (see the
paper template:
http://mper.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=10&Itemid=12)
will
be sent back to the authors without scientific review, but may be
resubmitted as soon as they have been corrected. The corresponding
author will be notified by e-mail when the manuscript is registered at
the Editorial Office (office@mper.org). The responsible editor will make
the decision either to send the manuscript to another reviewer to
resolve the difference of opinion or return it to the authors for
revision. The ultimate decision to accept, accept subject to correction,
or reject a manuscript lies within the prerogative of the
Editor-in-Chief and is not subject to appeal. The editors are not
obligated to justify their decision.
All manuscripts submitted to MPER editorial office (e-mail: office@mper.org) will be sent to at least two and in some cases three reviewers for passing the double-blind review process. The material formatted in the MPER format (see Author access at mper.org) must be unpublished and not under submission elsewhere. Once a year a list of co-operating reviewers is publish in electronic version of MPER.
All articles published in MPER are published in open access. In order to provide free access to readers, and to cover the costs of copyediting, typesetting, long-term archiving, and journal management, an article processing charge of 150 Euro for 10-page article applies to papers accepted after peer review.
