Global Supply Chain and Logistics
Global supply chains and logistics systems are at the core of today’s interconnected economy, influencing competitiveness, sustainability, and resilience across industries and regions. Rapid technological advancement, geopolitical uncertainty, climate concerns, and evolving customer expectations have significantly increased the complexity of designing, managing, and optimizing supply chain and logistics networks. As a result, organizations require innovative, data-driven, and collaborative approaches to ensure efficiency, responsiveness, and long-term value creation.
The IEOM Global Supply Chain and Logistics Special Sessions provide a dedicated forum for researchers, industry practitioners, policymakers, and educators to exchange ideas, share best practices, and present cutting-edge research addressing contemporary and emerging challenges in global supply chains. These sessions emphasize the integration of strategic, tactical, and operational decision-making, supported by analytics, optimization, digital technologies, and sustainability principles.
By covering topics ranging from demand planning and distribution network design to risk management, resilience, sustainability, and information distortion, the special sessions aim to bridge theory and practice while fostering industry-ready solutions. The discussions will highlight how cross-functional coordination, performance measurement, and innovative logistics and warehousing systems can enhance supply chain agility, robustness, and global competitiveness.
Through these special sessions, IEOM seeks to advance knowledge, inspire collaboration, and contribute to the development of resilient, sustainable, and high-performing global supply chain and logistics systems that can effectively respond to both current disruptions and future uncertainties.
It focuses in the following areas but not limited to:
- Cross-functional drivers in a supply chain
- Demand planning and forecasting in supply chain
- Designing distribution networks
- Inventory positioning in SC
- Optimization in supply chain
- Strategic, tactical and operational supply chain
- Managing uncertainty in a supply chain
- Global Supply Chain
- Logistics
- Risk in supply chain
- Resilience in supply chain
- Green or Sustainable Supply Chain
- Supply chain coordination and collaboration
- Supply chain performance
- Value distortion of information: Bullwhip effect
