Supply Chain Managment
In virtually any business, supply chains play an integral role in what challenges an organization faces and how these issues are addressed. The MSOM special interest group on Supply Chain Management (SCM) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners who are interested in developing and applying operations research and management science techniques to current and emerging practices, challenges and trends in supply chains. We think of supply chains as broadly focusing on the interactions necessary to match supply and demand. These interactions may be between inventory levels held at different locations or between a firm and its suppliers and customers.
The SCM SIG will promote and foster research, applications, and education in a broad range of topics in SCM including the management of inventory, the interactions between multiple players (both within and across organizations), the design of supply chains, and the management of risk and disruptions. The group is open to a range of methodologies including analytical, empirical, and behavioral. In addition, the SCM SIG is amenable to a variety of objectives including profit maximizing firms as well as non-profit or humanitarian aims.
