About Me 
S. Carmo-Silva, is Portuguese, obtained a graduate degree (five year university course) in Mechanical Engineering from Oporto University in 1976, a Master of Science in Management and Technology from University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology, in 1980, and a PhD in Manufacturing Engineering, from Loughborough University of Technology, in UK, in the year 1988. Presently he is a research member of the ALGORITMI research centre of the University of Minho, in Portugal and a retired Associate Professor of the Department of Production and Systems of the same university. He has five years of industrial experience, mainly in the apparel, steelworks and shipyards industrial sectors, most of them as a graduated Mechanical Engineer. His industrial and academic focus is on Production Planning and Control (PPC). He has developed research on production systems Design and Production Activity Control, with an emphasis on production control systems and workload control. As an important tool of research he has been using computer simulation. He maintained a link with industry through collaborating research projects and supervised with success a few dozens of post-graduate projects, seven of which were PhD projects. He is also author and co-author of more than one hundred papers, communications and book chapters, published in top international journals, books and conference proceedings. Under the Master courses in Systems Engineering and Industrial Engineering and Management of the University of Minho, Professor Carmo-Silva was responsible for several curricular units including, Production Activity Control, Production Systems Organization and Production Management, and was, in the past, responsible and promoter of many others, such as Computer Aided Manufacturing, Work-study and Fundamentals of Ergonomics, Quality Control and Reliability, Elements of Design for Manufacture, Flexible Manufacturing Systems and Production Systems Design. He was in the past head of the Department of Production Systems, head of the Centre for Production Systems Engineering for several years, and coordinator, for more than two decades, of the research and teaching group of Systems and Industrial Management (Grupo de Gestão Industrial e de Sistemas) of the University of Minho, at the Department of Production Systems.
