The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals has been launched in 2015 as a “blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all”. However, occasional large-scale disasters, unpredictable factors, and events can plunge industries and enterprises into an uncertain environment. The challenging issues that our contemporary society faces are plentiful - some are emerging and uncertain. Due to the severe COVID-19 outbreak that recently occurred, the supply chain, manufacturing, shipments, and service operations are more disrupted, adding uncertainty to this year’s prospects and operations. Recent advanced techniques and analytic tools developments such as RPA, AI, IoT and Blockchain are contributing to new business models and performance improvement in production and operations management, unlocking new and innovative potentials for industrials to deal with the uncertainty.
The theme of IPO 2020 is “Intelligent Operations in Uncertain Future - Unlocking Industrial Potential” emphasizing the important roles of intelligent production and operations in the future - a smart and dynamic world to meet the disruption challenges in a sustainable way. Developing state-of-the-art techniques, tools, and technologies hence become the main purpose of the conference in order to derive insights that bring benefits for industries to deal with the uncertainties.
