Special Issue: Reliability Evaluation and Optimization of Supply Chain Resilience
Supply chain resilience has become increasingly crucial due to the unpredictable and volatile nature of the business environment, which is subject to sudden disruptions, such as natural disasters (Covid–19), political instability (Russo–Ukrainian War), and supply chain cyber-attacks. These events can severely affect global organizations’ performance, reputation, and financial position, resulting in revenue lost, opportunities missed, costs increased, and customer relationship damaged. Thus, there is a growing need for advanced methods and tools to help organizations evaluate or optimize the reliability for supply chain resilience to mitigate the negative impacts of such disruptions. The advanced methods could involve using mathematical models and algorithms to optimize network design, risk analysis, and decision-making under uncertainty. Additionally, advanced technology, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, could be utilized to identify and predict disruptions and develop proactive mitigation strategies.
We invite submissions on topics related to supply chain resilience using Operations Research methodologies. We encourage submissions focusing on advanced methods for designing, planning, and optimizing supply chain networks that can withstand unexpected events and disruptions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
âš« Robust supply chain network design
âš« Supply chain resilience measurement and assessment
âš« Supply chain disruption forecasting and response
âš« Supply chain reliability and agility
âš« Single-objective or multi-objective optimization about supply chain resilience
âš« Simulation modeling for testing supply chain resilience
âš« Collaborative approaches to building resilient supply chains
âš« Data analytics and machine learning techniques for resilient supply chains
âš« Decision-making under uncertainty in supply chain management
âš« The impact of supply chain disruptions on inventory management
âš« The role determination of transportation and logistics in supply chain resilience
We welcome original research papers that provide insights and solutions to the challenges of building resilient supply chain networks. The papers should demonstrate the applicability of Operations Research methods and techniques to real-world supply chain problems.
