Track Description

Developments in the operational and supply chain arena suggest that building and managing a comprehensive and efficient supply chain system depends on capturing within a model the dynamics inherent in multiple and intricate supply chain factors. To meaningfully capture these complexities it is necessary to employ tools that generate feasible and reliable solutions. In accordance, the purpose of this track is to present the latest developments in supply chain management research in which both theoretical and practical issues are addressed. Conceptual paper must be inclusive of numerical analysis or case illustrations.

Covered topics include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following :

· Global supply chain or green supply chain management

· Cost control using activity based management

· Lean supply chain management

· Reverse logistics and return/waste management

· E-business and supply chain or closed-loop supply chain management

· Asset management in the logistics industry

· Assessment of risks or disruptions

· Financial logistics and logistics and revenue management

· Outsourcing relationship management

· Strategic alliance or supply chain partnerships

· Institutional perspectives
