Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Operations research widely applies existing scientific and technological knowledge and mathematical methods to solve specific problems in supply chain management and provides a basis for decision makers to choose the best decision.
As businesses become global, supply chain management research has become widely popular. Operations research is viewed as a science focused on applying mathematical modeling and analysis to help in decision-making and, as a consequence, to increase the efficiency of the supply chain. However, there are still some interesting and challenging problems in technology and methods that are worth further exploring.
Therefore, this Special Issue aims to bring together original research and review articles discussing the latest developments in data-driven operations research in supply chain management. We welcome submissions that present new ideas and discuss the future of operations research in supply chain management.
It is our pleasure to invite authors to contribute to this Special Issue by submitting relevant research articles that will be subject to rigorous peer-review.
Specific methods and fields of applications include but are not limited to the following:
- Statistical methods in supply chain management;
- Data-driven supply chain management;
- Group decision-making analysis in supply chain management;
- Multi-criteria decision analysis and application in supply chain management;
- Robust optimization in supply chain management;
- Stochastic optimization in supply chain management;
- Fuzzy programming in supply chain management.
