Lecture: Supply Chain Disruptions

Professor June Qiong Dong '94 PhD of the State University of New York at Oswego will deliver this lecture as part of the Spring 2009 Operations Research / Management Science Seminar series. All are invited to attend.

Topic: Supply Chain Disruptions

Abstract: Business competition today is supply chain versus supply chain competition. Because of the recent financial crisis and the automobile industry bailout, we have also learned that disruptions in one supply chain may affect other supply chains. We will present a mathematical model to study supply chain disruptions and the influence on other supply chains, in particular, on competitors' supply chains.
