Supply chain security is often associated with the robustness and/or vulnerability to failures and disruptions. Potential sources of disruption to supply chains are numerous, ranging from routine events like strikes, process and system failures to natural disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, volcano eruptions, and large epidemics. In the post-9/11 era, the focus has shifted to events involving malevolence such as piracy, terrorism, counterfeiting, theft, smuggling and illegal trafficking.
The Port Operations Research and Technology Centre (www.portec.org.uk) at the Centre for Transport Studies, Imperial College London, is organising a 2- day Conference on “Global Supply Chain Security” on 7-8 July 2011 in London, UK. This event seeks to address the operational, management, and policy challenges that supply chain security presents to businesses, governments and other supply chain stakeholders. The conference programme (www.scs2011.org) includes plenary sessions and paper presentations. Submitted papers will be peer reviewed for consideration in an edited Book. This event brings together speakers from both industry and academia in Europe, North America, Asia and Africa who have a wealth of experience to share with delegates and simulate discussion and debate during the conference.
