This edited book delves into the complexities of managing operations and supply chains in the era of the internet of things and Industry 4.0. It presents cutting-edge research on real-world operations-related problems, in-depth analyses, and relevant managerial implications. The book offers a wide range of solution approaches, including quantitative, quantitative, and simulation methods, to address the challenges faced by organizations in this digital age.

Consisting of selected papers from the XXIII Annual International Conference of the Society of Operations Management, this volume is part of a two-volume series, with the other book focusing on quantitative decision-making.

The book explores various quantitative models for operations and supply chain management, such as inventory optimization, machine learning-operations research integrated models for healthcare systems, game-theoretic analysis of review strategies in truthful information sharing, design of contracts in supply chains, supply chain optimization, inventory routing, and shop floor scheduling. In addition to the quantitative models, innovative heuristics are proposed for different problems.

The book also examines qualitative models for improving the performance of small and medium enterprises and the petroleum industries, as well as a simulation model for staff allocation in the information technology industry. Furthermore, it includes review articles on vaccine supply chains and behavioral operations management.

The book sheds light on the emerging trends in the use of analytics, optimization, and simulation tools and empirical analysis to enhance the performance of operations and supply chains of organizations. It serves as an invaluable resource for practitioners, students, faculty members, and scholars alike, providing insights and strategies for navigating the challenges of the digital age.
