From initial concept through the final decommissioning and disposal, the supply
chain and logistics play a pivotal role in every product’s lifecycle.
Manufacturing and production are the heart of the chain, though products may
range from simple services up to large procurement projects with characteristics
of long product lifetime, unpredicted adaptations and long lead times to
delivery. Operating in a simultaneously cooperative and competitive global
environment, the supply chain is populated by independent entities vying in
their use of scarce private and public resources and infrastructure to achieve
their schedule, specification, cash flow and profit goals. Like a complex
system, the supply chain is a complex set of entities and systems interconnected
by numerous physical, financial and information flows, and, as with all systems,
there are significant technical risks of failure. Also, current environmental
pressures ranging from border security and safety to the need to reduce energy
consumption and cut greenhouse gas emissions impact of supply chain. Finally,
recent advances in sensor networks, intelligent product, tracking systems,
communications, and information technologies, have led to the development of
innovative applications. The 4th International Conference on Logistics
Operations Management aims to bring together researchers and professionals
interested in logistics not only from a technology standpoint but also from a
social sciences perspective. This multi-disciplinary approach will examine the
current state of the art focusing on new techniques and models relevant to the
operations management of various logistics flows. The scope of the conference
will cover, but not be limited to, several topics such as logistics systems
modelling, decision support systems, information systems, legal and regulatory
environments, framework and control of the global logistics chain, manufacturing
organization, transport and storage operations, performance modelling and
measurement, risk analysis and planning.
