POMS 2009 Conference Theme: Global Challenges and Opportunities

Track Title: Logistics Management
Track Chairs:  John E. (Gene) Tyworth, Penn State (jet at psu.edu) and Jack Crumbly, Jackson State (jackcrumbly at hotmail.com)

Energy costs, port and highway congestion, and transportation infrastructure, mode choice, and maritime logistics have become increasingly important logistics management issues.  Logistics strategies for emerging economies and contingency planning for catastrophes are also of keen interest.  Other important issues include logistics visibility and control, risk mitigation strategies, reverse logistics, and third-party logistics services.  The goal of this track is to receive a diverse set of submissions that are specifically concerned with global challenges and opportunities for logistics management.
