Supply Chain Systems

Research in the supply chain systems explores the effective and efficient production and flow of goods and services in supply chains. Supply chain management is one of the core and influential areas within industrial engineering and operations research, and UC Berkeley IEOR faculty members are some of the world's leading supply chain management experts. Researchers in the department are actively exploring a variety of approaches to integrating and optimizing various operational, tactical, and strategic decisions in large-scale supply chains, and are developing techniques to help managers deal with the uncertainty inherent in the real world.
