Workshop:-Supply Chain Management Practice and Research-Status and Future Directions; April, 18-19, 2001; Gaithersburg, MD

Gass该赠款为主题为“供应链管理实践与研究：现状和未来方向”的研讨会提供资金。 供应链管理（SCM）的一般主题已成为改善美国经济的驱动力，以及它对全球工业互动的有效和高效管理具有强烈的影响。 当今和不久的将来，分析和基于信息的技术将使供应链管理的全球概念成为现实。 然而，我们对当前SCM成就的理解表明，有必要确定现在可以完成什么，需要做什么，以及需要进行哪些研究和开发才能使SCM充分发挥其潜力。 为此，我们招募了从业者，研究人员和SCM软件供应商来解决特定的主题，观众是积极的SCM参与者。 研讨会定于2001年4月18日和19日在马里兰州盖瑟斯堡的马里兰州大学系统中心举行。 罗伯特·H。马里兰州大学史密斯商学院和国家标准与技术研究所制造工程实验室与宾夕法尼亚州立大学物流研究中心和供应链理事会联合主办了研讨会。每个研讨会发言人将描述其主题的研究议程。 这些议程将被合并为一个建议的研究计划，以进一步改善供应链管理的各个方面。 研讨会的论文将作为会议记录出版，分发给所有与会者。 研讨会的目标和范围，以及SCM从业者，研究人员和软件开发人员和顾问的聚集，将导致有益的关系和项目，将进一步改善SCM。

GassThis grant provides funding for a workshop with the theme: Supply Chain Management Practice and Research: Status and Future Directions. The general subject of Supply Chain Management (SCM) has become a driving force for the betterment of the U.S. economy, as well as it's having strong implications for effective and efficient management of global industrial interactions. Present day and near-future analytical and information-based technologies are positioned to make this global concept of SCM an actuality. However, our understanding of current SCM accomplishments indicates that there is a need for determining what can now be accomplished, want needs to be done, and what research and developments are required to make SCM reach its full potential. To this end, we have enlisted practitioners, researchers and SCM software vendors to address specific topics, with the audience being active SCM participants. The workshop is scheduled for April 18 and 19, 2001 and will be held at the University of Maryland System Center, Gaithersburg, MD. The Robert H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland and the Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory, National Institute of Standards and Technology sponsor the workshop, in association with the Center for Logistics Research, Pennsylvania State University and the Supply Chain Council.Each workshop speaker will describe a research agenda for their topic. These agendas will be combined into a suggested research program for the further improvement of all aspects of SCM. The workshop papers will be published as proceedings to be distributed to all attendees. The objectives and scope of the workshop, and the bringing together of SCM practitioners, researchers, and software developers and consultants, will lead to beneficial relationships and projects that will further the improvement of SCM.
