The 3rd International Conference on Modern Management based on Big Data (MMBD2022)

Call for Special Sessions

Special session proposals should include the title, aim and scope (including a list of main topics), and the names of the organizers of the special session, together with a short biography of all organizers. A list of potential contributors will be helpful.

Special session proposals will be evaluated based on the timeliness, uniqueness of the topic and qualifications of the proposers. The proposers are expected to have a PhD degree and have a good publication track record in the proposed area. After review, a decision on whether the proposal will be accepted will be sent to the proposers within two weeks after receipt of the proposals. Accepted special sessions will be listed on the website. However, it is likely that an accepted proposal will be combined with another one to avoid multiple special sessions covering a similar topic.

Please send us the proposal via email: mmbd@mmbdconf.org

Special Session on "Big Data Driven Manufacturing and Service Industry Supply Chain Management"

The Aim of the Special Session:

Big data is making an impact on all supply chain activities. It ranges from improving delivery times to identifying ways to reduce the communication gap between manufacturers and suppliers. Analytics reports enable decision-makers to achieve operational efficiency and monitor performance to improve productivity. There are numerous ways data analytics can improve supply chain efficiency: validating data; detecting anomalies; benchmarking operations; allowing for mobile reporting and visibility into global logistics' offering real-time route optimization, improved demand forecasts, and inventory management; and providing for. It’s one of the hottest topics in the supply chain industry right now and has pride of place alongside artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and automation. It’s the new kid at school, the latest film in the cinema and the state-of-the-art phone everyone’s talking about all rolled into one - and everyone wants to get involved. In a bid to gain a competitive advantage, companies are leveraging Big Data for a host of reasons. Through Big Data, businesses can decrease costs, enhance efficiency and ultimately make smarter decisions. Supply Chain Digital takes a closer look at three of the companies that have implemented Big Data into their operations. Supply chains, in general, were much simpler processes in the 1980s when they first received mainstream attention. However, supply chains have existed since the industrial era. The main difference between their operation then, and how they are organized now, comes down to complexity. Often, supply chains were local or domestic. With technology making the economy more global, however, supply chains have gained more moving parts than ever before. In the late 90s and early 2000s, globalization was a blessing for prices, but a curse for supply chains. With Big Data becoming a larger and more user-friendly asset, modern supply chains are being revolutionized. The biggest driving force behind this modern big data wave is that it can now be captured, understood, and utilized. While transactions were always captured data, creating a knowledge-sharing network based on the insights gained from big data analytics has become just as important, according to Forbes. Transactions were able to capture how, when, and where people make purchases. With the addition of supply chain analysis, manufactures, retailers, and distributors can now optimize how best to get products to consumers.
