From the reviews:
"E-Manufacturing: Business Paradigms and Supporting Technologies is a fairly good effort to fill the gap between the e-technology issues pertaining to different levels of the modern production system. ... It is appropriate for researchers in industrial engineering, management, or IT. It could also be valuable for IT professionals and business executives, who will find several papers containing remarkable ideas that show how effective e-technology implementation in manufacturing calls for a thorough reconfiguration of production systems."
