Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A supply chain network is an integrated system of resources that collaborate to facilitate the production and distribution of products and services. It covers all activities in the network, ranging from raw material suppliers through product design, production, and ultimately to consumers. The resources involved that enable the processes may belong to one organization or multiple collaborating organizations. The role of supply chain management is to actively manage all of the resources involved in order to ensure the efficient flow of products and services and to maximize the system performance. Decision-makers at all stages of a network need to be equipped with knowledge and decision tools to enable effective and efficient management.
In this Special Issue, we are seeking papers that generate new knowledge, advance the understanding of supply chains, and enhance supply chain modeling and decision-making processes within the context of the scope of this issue of JRFM. Of particular interest is research that presents analytical models that reflect the various topics identified, concept papers, and case studies that describe innovative applications. The topics itemized should be seen as merely illustrative rather than exhaustive. The journal is open to receiving papers that address topics related to the focus of this Issue.
Prof. Dr. Pius Egbelu
