Abstracting/Indexing Services and Journal Lists

In today’s global market, managing the entire supply chain becomes a key factor for measuring the successful business performance and the performance evaluation remains one of the biggest challenges for today's companies. This holds true for many individual companies as well as for the extended supply chain in which they participate. World-class organisations now realise that non-integrated manufacturing processes, non-integrated distribution processes and poor relationships with suppliers and customers are inadequate for their success. They realise the impact of an organisation’s plan on the other areas of the supply chain. The impact of an organisation’s plan on the whole supply chain is unpredictable before its execution. Simulation permits the evaluation of operating performance prior to the execution of a plan. In practical applications, business performance and supply chain modelling has become a necessity.

IJBPSCM is a peer reviewed international quarterly journal which publishes original, high-quality and cutting-edge research on all aspects of supply chain modelling aiming at bridging the gap between theory and practice with applications analysing the real situation to improve business performance.

 Go Top  Objectives

The main objectives of the IJBPSCM are:

  • To help firms capture the synergy of inter-functional and inter-organisational integration and coordination across the supply chain and to subsequently make better supply chain decisions through identifying key challenges and opportunities associated with supply chain modelling
  • To present state-of-art, high-quality research developments in all the advanced areas of supply chain modelling (SCM)
  • To help professionals working in the area of supply chain, academician, consultants and practitioners to share the cutting-edge information of current development in the area
  • To provide guidelines for the successful development and implementation of supply chain modelling to improve the business performance
  • To define new problem domains in the area of SCM
  • To develop new methodologies to solve SCM problems
