International Conference on Flexible Supply Chains in a Global Economy

This conference is hosted by Molde University College, the leading research and education center for logistics and operations management in Norway. Since this conference is held right at my doorstep I thought I should promote it, especially since my research topic Uncertainty and Disruption in the Supply Chain is one of the topics that is covered.

Conference Agenda

Some relevant topics for the Conference are:

  • Environment and energy concern in the Supply Chain
  • Distribution networks, routing and transportation systems
  • Inventory planning and management
  • Make or buy decisions
  • Uncertainty and disruption in the Supply Chain
  • Planning supply and demand – managing predictable variability
  • Application, integration and development of information systems and technology
  • E-Business
  • Managing conflicts of interest in the Supply Chain
  • Exploit scale effects in the Supply Chain
  • Supply chains in public organizations and service enterprises

Paper submissions are due on February 1st, 2008.
