Presentation Title – Omni-Channel Retailing- Opportunities and Challenges for OM and OR
Abstract: Today’s retail customers want to be able to access information and make purchase decisions in whatever way and on whatever device they wish. They also want to receive their orders whenever, wherever, and however they wish. Retailers are therefore under pressure to offer multiple retail channels and multiple fulfilment modes in order to satisfy very different customer journeys. This ‘Omni-Channel’ retailing changes the nature and granularity of order fulfilment fundamentally for the retailer from the conventional way of satisfying all customers from a network of bricks-and-mortar stores. Omni-Channel channel retailing is an area that is practice-led. Retailers are experimenting, trialling, and implementing different solutions and systems, not always successfully. We first discuss different types of, and definitions for multi-channel retailing. We then provide a conceptual map for Omni-Channel order fulfilment decisions at strategic, operational, and tactical levels. Opportunities for both empirical OM research and modelling research are highlighted. We then consider models for one of the most popular modes of Omni-Channel fulfilment – ‘Buy-online-pickup-in-store’ (BOPS).

Presentation Tittle: Business Analytics in China
Nowadays, many Chinese companies have already accumulated abundant data resources and are seeking ways to improve their management by taking advantage of their data. In this talk, we present several instances of business analytics based on our research projects with Chinese companies. In each instance, we show the process of solving data driven problems in Chinese logistics and supply chain management, which basically includes three stages–causality analysis, prediction analysis, and optimization analysis. In particular, we find that classical methodology (like, regressions) works well in causality analysis, however, has limitation in prediction analysis; some advanced methodology (like, machine learning) exhibits good performance in prediction analysis, however, generates new challenges in the optimization analysis. Our research contributes to proposing several ideas and methodologies to analyze data, formulate data driven problems, and optimize data driven problems. At the end of this talk, we would like to introduce some innovative practices of Chinese companies and conclude several potential research directions of business analytics in China.

As an innovative company Valeo is right in the middle of three technological and social revolutions that are shaping our industry electrification, autonomous vehicles, and digital mobility. As far as thermal systems are concerned, these revolutions lead us to think differently the interior of the car from a comfort and health stand point. Moreover, this triggers a different approach of our development methods setting users’ experience at the heart of our methodologies.
