With the rapid development of technologies, especially the Internet of things, 3D printer, big data, cloud computing, 5G, blockchain, etc., the logistics and supply chain has been smarter. These technologies have started to transform the ways we live and revolutionize the way of traditional manufacturing, management, and operations. The supply chain becomes smarter on planning, implementing, and controlling the forward, and reverse flow and storage of goods, services, and related information to meet customer's requirements. The potential economic, social and environmental impacts, and benefits of the Intelligent technologies on are huge. Meanwhile, intelligent technologies also pose great challenges to operations management (OM) of supply chain in practice in terms of supply chain standards, supply chain coordination, security and privacy concerns, risk management, sustainability, service management, data application, smart finance, etc. These problems require in-depth research to address. The purpose of this Special Issue (SI) is to publish high-quality papers addressing emerging operations management and technology creations in the context of smart supply chain. Research that employ mainstream OM research methodologies, such as mathematical modelling, algorithm, optimization, simulation, event studies, questionnaire surveys, and case studies is welcome. The scope of ICLS2019 is to provide an international forum for the exchange of ideas among interested researchers, students, developers, and practitioners in the areas of smart supply chain management and innovations. In this special issue, we would like to select no more than 10 papers to be published in IJMOM journal. We will also invite submissions directly from experts in this field to attain sufficient high-quality papers. |
