Dear locators,
On behalf of the EWGLA coordination board, we wish you an optimal or
near optimal year 2019.
Here follow some news about your favourite EURO Working Group.
Please note that we have two important calls concerning grants for EWGLA
XXV participants and the election of a new member in the EWGLA
coordination board.

Grants for EWGLA XXV participants*
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As in previous EWGLA meeting, we are pleased to announce that EWGLA is
again offering a number of grants for participants.
These grants will cover your expenses up to a maximum of €750. Eligible
expenses are costs for travel & accommodation and the conference fee.
To apply, you have to be a EWGLA member and should send the following
documents as a single pdf by e-mail to the EWGLA Board (ewgla-board at
euro-online.org <https://www.euro-online.org/conf/euro30/>):
- An extended abstract of at least two full pages,
- Your CV,
- A letter of recommendation from your supervisor, if you are a PhD student.
The deadline for applications is *31st January, 2019.*
Decisions about grants will be made by 2nd March, 2018.
We especially encourage PhD students and young researchers (no more than
2 years after completing a PhD).
We would appreciate if you could forward this announcement to your PhD
students in case they are not yet members of EWGLA and, of course,
encourage them to become EWGLA members!
If you have questions about the application or the grant, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------**
**New web site and registration to EWGLA**
**-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
The EWGLA web page has migrated the the new EURO website, on the space
dedicated to working groups. .
https://www.euro-online.org/websites/ewgla/
As a consequence, the registration process to all EURO working groups
will be centralized.
Current EWGLA members are invited to register again in order to access
all informations on the EWGLA website (documents, datasets et).
Don't worry, even if you don't register immediately, you are still
registered to the mailing list and will continue receiving the EWGLA
e-mails.
However, we encourage new members to register to EWGLA through the EURO
website.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*EWGLA coordination board*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the EWGLA session at EWGLA XXIV, we discussed the activity of our
EURO Working Group.
The main point was the proposal for changing the rules of the
coordination board.
Here are the rules that were adopted:
/1.The board consists of three members from three different countries.//
//2.The mandate of a member starts and ends at a EWGLA meeting.//
//3.Each member serves for a span of 4 EWGLA meetings, excluding the one
she or he came into office.//
// That is, the mandate of a member coming into office at a EWGLA
meeting will end four meetings later.//
//4.Only one member at a time is replaced at every EWGLA meeting./
Following this rule*, one new member *will be elected in the
coordination board this year, and his/her mandate will start during
EWGLA XXV.
(According to the rules, this person cannot come from Hungary nor UK).
Thus, we call for new volunteers to join the coordination board.
Candidates are required to send an email to ewgla-board(a)euro-online.org
<mailto:ewgla-board@euro-online.org> by *May 5th, with their name,
affiliation and a bulleted list o**f views and/or ideas about the future
of EWGLA*.
The list of candidates will be announced short after. If they are
several candidates, registered EWGLA members will be asked to vote
during the EWGLA meeting.
-------------------------------------------------------------
* EURO 2019 : Dublin, June 23-26. *
------------------------------------------------------
A full stream is dedicated to "Location Analysis and Optimization".
It is currently composed of 6 sessions, but additional sessions can be
created on demand.
EWGLA members are cordially invited to submit talks by using the
following codes :
Facility location 9050d038
Hub Location 1f7e0689

Dear EWGLA members,
As announced at EWGLA conference in Edinburgh, International Workshop on
Urban Operations Research (IWUOR2019) will be held from July 19 to 21 in
2019. The conference place is Nanzan University in Nagoya, Japan. The
WEB site is opened and the details will be added soon. The URL of the
WEB site is
http://www.ss.nanzan-u.ac.jp/uor/iwuor2019/
The domestic version of the workshop has been held every year and the
main point of the workshop is to promote young researchers. IWUOR2019
preserves the point. Presentations of the preliminary results of ongoing
research of graduate students or young researchers are welcomed. We are
also planning to have several networking. You will have a good
experience in Nagoya.
The important dates are as follows:
March 15, 2019 Abstract submission deadline
April 30, 2019 Notice of acceptance
May 31, 2019 Early registration deadline
July 19-21, IWUOR2019
Please consider the submission of the abstract to attend the workshop

*****************************
Dear colleagues and friends,
Mozart Menezes (Kedge Business School) and I, Diego Ruiz-Hernandez, are
organising a track at MIM 2019 (9th IFAC/IFIP/IFORS/IISE/INFORMS
Conference on Manufacturing Modelling, Management and Control) to be
held in Berlin on 28-30 of August, 2019. The focus is on the holistic
understanding of the link between supply chain decisions and financial
performance.
Companies struggle to improve their financial indicators in highly
competitive environments, and encourage the organisation to use the
proliferation of products, markets, and channels, as a mechanism for
capturing additional revenue for sustaining growth. This proliferation,
to which we refer to as /structural complexity/, is likely to bring
increases in revenues but those increases are hardly reflected in the
operating profits. Although structural complexity seems to be a very
big issue in managing todays’ business (a simple Google search for
'“supply chain complexity”' or “operational complexity” brings over
250,000 results) and preliminary empirical results suggest that
companies may lose up to 10 percent points (or more) of operating
profits due to complexity, there is not an organised space for
researchers working on this cross-functional areas topic, to exchange
ideas. This track wants to fill that void. The track aims at bringing
together papers (interdisciplinary work is highly encouraged) that
address supply chain complexity from many angles.
We accept quantitative and qualitative papers on the subject with an
empirical view or theoretically leaning approaches. Papers that discuss
performance loss (operation or financial) due to multiplicity of
products, markets, and channels, are welcomed. That includes, but is not
limited to, loss of forecasting accuracy due to (broadly defined) supply
chain complexity, or behavioural experiments that help to shed light on
the issue of complexity-induced performance loss in the supply chain. We
also encourage the submission of system dynamics and discrete simulation
based papers on this subject. Papers of facility location and network
design topics that focus on multiple products and markets are also
welcome. General facility location or transportation/routing
investigations that highlight the issues involved when the numbers of
products grow will be of special interest.
We would like to use this conference as an opportunity and a platform
for organising a group, interested in supply chain complexity issues,
for planning beyond this conference. Depending on the answers to this
“call of duty”, we will organise a social event for allowing us to get
acquainted with each other. We hope you will get on board in this
initiative with us.
Please, if you have a colleague that could be interested in this subject
then forward this message to her/him.
*Track (Invited) Supply Chain Structural Complexity *
Please ask me (d.ruiz-hernandez(a)sheffield.ac.uk
<mailto:d.ruiz-hernandez@sheffield.ac.uk>) for a submission code if
interested.
Deadline for submissions: 15th of December, 2018.
With best regards,
Diego Ruiz-Hernandez (on behalf of the organisers).
