Transforming industries for a sustainable and adaptive future.

“With new advanced technologies and the global reach of supply chains, ensuring their proper functioning has become increasingly challenging. The intricate web of interconnections that define supply chains must be made resilient in the face of disruptions. This resilience is crucial not just for firms and public institutions, but for society as a whole. Whether it’s ensuring the steady availability of everyday groceries or managing the logistics behind high-speed trains, the reliability of supply chains is essential to daily life.

Our research in this field brings together diverse contributors from various disciplines, each analyzing different aspects and types of supply chains. We employ a wide range of advanced methods, including AI-based decision-making tools, deep reinforcement learning for real-time adjustments, and operations research models that account for human factors like well-being and preferences. These tools help improve efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and optimize responses to unexpected events. To address these challenges comprehensively, it is crucial to analyze supply chains at different levels—examining firm-level practices, chain-level dynamics, and system-wide implications. This multi-level and multidisciplinary approach enables more effective policy recommendations and technological innovations, fostering a more resilient, sustainable, and inclusive global economy.
