CfP for Invited Sessions on Transport and logistics in MIM 2016. Troyes, France. June 28-30, 2016.
by Murat Afsar 21 Oct '15

21 Oct '15

Our apologies for multiple receptions 8^th IFAC Conference on "*Manufacturing Modelling, Management, and Control*" *MIM 2016* on /Manufacturing Systems and Logistics/ Technically supported by *IEEE, IFORS, IFIP, INFORMS* and *SCS, SEE, GDR MACS, GDR RO* *Troyes, France, on June 28 to 30, 2016* (http://mim2016.utt.fr/) *Three Invited Sessions are proposed on Transport and logistics:* *1)***_Vehicle Routing for services provision_ (*invited sessions code **f2y51*) chaired by Nacima Labadie, Renata Mansini, Jan Melechovsky The role of transportation and logistics is well established in numerous manufacture industries. In the last years, the service sector has attracted more and more attention of both researchers and practitioners with a view to reduce costs, ensure quality of service as well as to meet the ever-growing needs of the population for services provision such as maintenance and repair services, tourist route planning, home health care and so on. This session is dedicated to academic works dealing with new models and algorithms as well as real case studies with the aim of establishing the recent advances of routing problems in these application areas. /**/Key Words: /Operations Research; Supply chains and networks; Transportation science/ *2)* _Risk management and transportation _(*invited sessions code **q98j6*) chaired by Murat Afsar, Caroline Prodhon, Nubia Velasco In a world with conflicts, economic crisis, terrorism and instability, the strategic and operational risks related to transport and logistics are even more pronounced. As supply chains continue to become more global and complex, the risk of disruption intensifies. Yet while most companies recognize the increased risk potential, many are ill prepared to handle a disruption. All logistic activities imply risks that need to be evaluated and managed. One should identify and reduce these risks whilst minimizing their consequences and impacts. In transportation science, such problems can be regrouped into two categories: Risk management during transportation Carrier delays and non-performance Product safety during transportation Lack of inventory Logistic responses to potential risk events in unsafe environments Disaster management and humanitarian logistics Hazardous material transportation In this session of Risk Management and Transportation, we encourage researchers who integrate risk identification, evaluation mitigation and minimization in transportation. /**/Key Words: /Transportation science; Supply chains and networks; Operations Research/ *3)* _Green transportation logistics_ (*invited sessions code **s12m3*) chaired Philippe Lacomme, Daniele Vigo, Thibaut Vidal, Caroline Prodhon The main objective of logistics is to coordinate transport activities, storage, inventory management, handling, in order to meet customer requirements at minimum cost. If in the past, that cost was defined in purely monetary terms, today's environmental concerns encourage companies to take into account the indirect costs that affect pollution (water, air, noise, ...). The purpose of this session is to present recent academic research trends in green transportation logistics with new models and algorithms as well as real case studies. Potential themes include, but are not limited to: Green-VRP, Pollution Routing Problem, VRP in Reverse Logistics, Electrical VRP, Car pooling... /**/Key Words: /Transportation science; Supply chains and networks; Operations Research / *Important dates:* Invited papers submission deadline: November 1st, 2015 Notification of acceptance: February 1, 2016 Registration: March 31, 2016 *Submission steps:* Click on "Submit a contribution to MIM 2016" on the following page https:////ifac.papercept.net/conferences/scripts/start.pl Submit as "Invited paper".
