“The management of global aspects of providing goods and services to a consumer, from design and sourcing of resources to end-of-life disposal and recycling, including manufacturing, physical and organizational logistics, and after-sale service and warranty issues*”

International Centre for Innovation and Industrial Logistics

Why not become associated with a strong, worldwide network of well-known academic and industrial modellers in the field of industrial logistics, under the leadership of the International Centre for Innovation and Industrial Logistics (ICIIL)?

ICIIL is a non-profit professional association which has been developing an integrated view of Industrial Logistics and international exchanges among students, researchers, academics and industrialists, as well as promoting the field of Industrial Logistics Modelling in general. The biannual International Conference on Industrial Logistics (ICIL) are the main means to attain these objectives worldwide. This is exactly what the conference has done, moving from France (ICIL’93), to Brazil (ICIL’95), Russia (ICIL’99), Japan (ICIL’01), Finland (ICIL’03), Uruguay (ICIL’05), Lithuania (ICIL’06) and Israel (ICIL’08) since 1993.
