The nature of highly dynamic and complex networks of supply, intralogistics and distribution leads to decreasing transparency at increasing risk. Therefore, managers who are responsible for supply chain management and logistics require effective tools to provide credible analysis in this dynamic environment. In order to facilitate the discussion of the best applications of simulation in this area, this track includes papers in logistics simulation, supply chain simulation, and simulation for planning, analyzing and improving logistics from the intralogistics view to global supply chains.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Supply chain design
• Supply chain responsiveness
• Supply chain risk analysis
• Supplier contracting policies
• Lean supply chains
• Supply chain operations
• Demand and order fulfillment
• Inventory policies
• Multi-modal logistics systems
• Traffic and routing
