mSSChain - Managing Sustainable Supply Chains Sustainable Supply Chains
The m-SSChain project address the research questions how to design, plan and operate Sustainable Supply Chain (SSC) under an uncertain environment. Within this scope, the project aims to develop comprehensive and innovative general models for the design, planning and operation of resilient SSC under uncertainty. These models will be validated using real industrial cases.
