This edited book is a compilation of scholarly articles on the latest developments in the field of additive manufacturing, discussing nature-inspired and artificial intelligence-aided additive manufactured processes for different materials including biomanufacturing, and their applications, as well as various methods to enhance the characteristics of the materials produced, the efficiency of the manufacturing process itself, as well as optimal ways to develop a product in minimum time. The book explores the advancements in additive manufacturing from prefabrication stage to final product, with real-time defect detection, control, and process efficiency improvement covered. This book will be a great resource for engineers, researchers, and academics involved in this revolutionary and unique field of manufacturing.

Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) has been identified as an important research area in recent years. Green environmental issues have drawn an attention of researchers and Supply Chain (SC) practitioners at micro and macro level. Thirty six enablers to implement green supply chain management relevant to Indian manufacturing industry have been identified through extensive review of literature. Questionnaire based survey has been conducted to indicate the significance and ranking of identified enablers. With experts' opinions, identified thirty six enablers have been categorized in to eleven enablers based upon their nature. Contextual relationships among these ten enablers have been indentified to further partition the levels. Structural model of these factors has been formed using Interpretive Structural Modeling technique. Further, Classification of these enablers depending upon their driving and dependence power has also been carried out by using Matrice d'Impacts Croises-Multiplication Applique a un Classement (MICMAC) analysis. "International Environment Agreements" has been identified as most important enablers and pushing organizations to implement GSCM practices. This paper may play vital role to understand contextual relationships among the enablers to implement Green Supply Chain Management in Indian manufacturing industry.

We know that in comparison with the organizations, which are supported by structure and routines to suck up knowledge, project based-organization do not have any supportive natural transfer mechanism and also do not have any organizational memory, as they are temporary in nature. So, without a certain knowledge system and supporting culture during a project's life cycle, knowledge assets can misplaced once a project is completed. This results in organizational knowledge destruction and loss of organizational learning. Knowledge management (KM) for project is vital for organizations to achieve competition and to survive in a dynamic environment. However, it's is not an easy task, planned management efforts are require to capture and transfer of knowledge in projects. This study aims to analyze critical factors of knowledge management in the project based-organization with the help of ISM.This study shows that top management support, investment cost, organization and IT infrastructure are the main enablers of managing knowledge in the projects and it is advocated that project managers should harmonize KM practices with organization culture and launch a user-friendly system.

Now in its secod edition, this comprehensive text provides the most complete up-to-date coverage of the materials management discipline. It is the result of intensive collaboration between the authors and the academic community, IIMM professionals and senior executives involved in materials, inventory, warehousing, logistics, supply chain, working capital and top management. The title reflects the wealth of experience gained by the authors in India and abroad in training, research, teaching and consultancy.The text clearly analyses all the concepts, processes and applications of materials management, supply chain management, logistics management, and multimodal transport. It also describes the concept of integrated materials management with the help of diagrams, charts, photos and solved examples. The suggestions of practising professionals, academics and researchers have been also been incorporated.This text is intended primarily as a textbook for graduate students pursuing materials management courses. It will also serve as a ready reckoner for the executives practising in areas such as materials, logistics, SCM, purchase, warehousing and inventory management.
