This SI’s theme is “Operations Innovation and Supply Chain Resilience”. In the context of global volatility and uncertainty, the deepening application of digitalization, automation, and intelligent technologies in operations management has given rise to innovative models and practices that enhance supply chain resilience. These innovations serve as a crucial foundation for rebuilding robust supply chain networks, reconfiguring production and distribution layouts, and strengthening risk response capabilities. They profoundly influence the design of procurement, production, inventory, and logistics systems, as well as the coordination mechanisms among partners. By improving the transparency, agility, and adaptability of supply chains, they effectively address disruptions in supply and demand, optimize resource allocation efficiency, and ensure the continuity and stability of global economic operations. This trend not only reshapes the competitive dynamics between enterprises and industries but also draws extensive attention and exploration from both academia and practice.
This Special Issue, therefore jointly launched by JMSE and CSAMSE through the platform of 2026 CSAMSE conference, seeks to publish high-quality scholarly papers that focus on original works or comprehensive reviews with relevancy of AI and New Productive Forces in the fields of management science and engineering.
