Global Congress on Manufacturing and Management is a non-profit organisation governed by a board with one or two academic and industrial members from each participating country. The current membership spans over twenty-two countries from around the world. Besides providing a forum for leading researchers and industry partners to come together and exchange knowledge and views on global changes in manufacturing and management, GCMM conducts conferences every two years. GCMM has always attracted high-quality research papers and continues to serve as a central hub where the world’s knowledge on manufacturing research is fused with industry strategy in a globalised market.
