Invitation to present at the OR49 conference in Edinburgh (September 4-6, 2007)
Dear Colleague,
I am organising a stream on Logistics and Supply Chains for the OR Society annual conference (OR49) to be held in Edinburgh on September 4-6, 2007. The stream aims to explore new trends and applications within the broad area of Logistics and Supply Chain Management. Stream topics include but are not limited to:
* Supply chain strategy
* Supply chain planning
* Sustainable supply chain/green logistics/reverse logistics/closed-loop supply chains
* Transportation and warehousing
* Supply chain risks and disturbances
* Collaboration and information sharing issues
* Performance measurement in supply chains
* Purchasing and auctions
* Product lifecycle management
* Emerging technologies in supply chains (RFID, Rapid Manufacturing, etc.)
The stream shall provide an opportunity for OR professionals (academics and practitioners) to share their recent findings focusing on innovative techniques, new fields of applications, and real-life implementations.
Highlights of the stream will include a keynote presentation from Dr Stephen Disney from the Logistics Systems Dynamics Group (Cardiff Business School, Cardiff University) who will be addressing the topic of ‘The dynamics of material flows in supply chains’.
Please submit the abstracts (up to 250 words) via the conference website:
http://www.orsoc.org.uk/orshop/(y5qr2r555hjxsj45y1iaxvfc)/orcontent.aspx?inc=or49_main.htm
The abstracts should be received by April 13, 2007 to appear in the Invitation Programme for the conference.
We look forward to seeing you in Edinburgh.
Sincerely,
Hartanto Wong
