SPS LLC team is committed to extending the borders of knowledge in the area of production systems. We strongly believe that improving efficiency of manufacturing systems in sustainable ways should not be just a subject to talk about, but a mandate for every production system. Cutting manufacturing losses saves resources and preserves the environment.

​

As such, our team is constantly presenting the results of their research in well-established academic journals and world-famous conferences. 

​

Below, is a list of some of the recent publications by our team.
