7th Workshop on Logistics and Supply Chain
Management
Quantitative Approaches in Logistics and Supply Chain Management
October 4 to
5, 2011, Claremont Hotel Club & Spa
|
You are cordially invited to participate in an
international workshop on Logistics and Supply Chain Management organized by RWTH
Aachen University in cooperation
with the University of California, Berkeley. The first
three workshops of this series were held in Berkeley from 2003 to 2005, while
the fourth workshop took place in Hamburg in 2006. Since 2007, the workshop
has been held every two years in Berkeley, so the seventh workshop in 2011
would like to greet you once again in Berkeley at the Claremont Hotel Club
& Spa. Maintaining the tradition of the former workshops, one primary goal of
the upcoming workshop is to bring together people who are interested in the
academic/practitioner-interface of Logistics and SCM. For this reason, most
presentations will be given by industry leaders who collaborate with academic
researchers, and by faculty who have an active consulting practice in SCM. |
