Supply Chain Engineering Lab.
Supply Chain Engineering Lab. will establish the research frameworks for analyzing, designing, and developing the competitive supply chain {strategy, policy, and operational plans} based on the engineering approach including the optimization and simulation techniques. The research topics should be evolved according to the recent and updated status of the business environment. Thus, we will continuously extend the research topics and academic views by incorporating new agenda and business concerns. From the top-level business strategy to the detailed execution level, it would be expected that a lot of concerns and business issues could be appeared and then should be deliberately studied for satisfying the given missions for supply chain management.
