Hosted by the Department of Management and Marketing (Operations and Supply Chain Management Area), University of Melbourne
In today’s highly volatile and competitive business environment, enhancing supply chain resilience and sustainability simultaneously has been a core challenge in both the industry and academia. Thanks to the swift development of advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, Internet of Things (IoT), and machine learning, practitioners and scholars can now have more opportunities to adopt these innovative solutions to manage supply chain risks more proactively and to achieve lasting economic, environmental, and social benefits.
This year, the third Melbourne Supply Chain Conference (MSCC 3.0) focuses on supply chain resilience and sustainability enhancement using advanced technologies. This event will again bring together industry experts and eminent scholars to showcase the contemporary development and innovations in this area, and explore industry-university collaboration opportunities to advance supply chain resilience and sustainability further in the era of uncertainty. Come and join us for an experience that will pave the way to hear first-hand experiences and advancements in supply chain resilience and sustainability, and connect with leading practitioners and experts in the field.
