Imagine planning an event like the Olympics. Now imagine planning the same event but not knowing when or where it will take place, or how many will attend. This is what humanitarian logisticians are up against. Oversights result in serious consequences for the victims of disasters. So they have to get it right, fast.

For reseach in all subjects and among different philisopical paradigms, research methodologies form one of the key issues to rely on. This volume brings a series of papers together, which present different research methodologies as applied in supply chain management. This comprises review oriented papers that look at what kind of methodologies have been applied, as well as methodological papers discussing new developments needed to successfully conduct research in supply chain management. The third group is made up of applications of the respective methodologies, which serve as examples on how the different methodological approaches can be applied. All papers have undergone a review process to ensure their quality. Therefore, we hope that this book will serve as a valid source for current and future researchers in the field. While the workshop on “Research Methodologies in Supply Chain Management” took place at the Supply Chain Management Center, Carl von Ossietzky Univ- sity in Oldenburg, Germany, it is based on a collaboration with the Supply Chain Management Group of the Department of Operations Management at the Cop- hagen Business School and the Department of Production Management at the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration. We would like to thank all those who contributed to the workshop and this book.

This edited book addresses the challenges in managing the operations and supply chain of organizations in the era of internet of things and Industry 4.0. It presents cutting edge research on real world operations related problems, in-depth analyses, and relevant managerial implications. Wide variety of solution approaches such as quantitative, quantitative, and simulations are presented in the context of managing the operations and supply chains. Consisting of selected papers from the XXIII Annual International Conference of Society of Operations Management, this volume is part of a two volume series with the other book consisting of chapters on quantitative decision making. This edited book covers various quantitative models on operations and supply chain management such as inventory optimization, machine learning-operations research integrated model for healthcare systems, game-theoretic analysis of review strategies in truthful information sharing, design of contracts in supply chains, supply chain optimization, inventory routing, and shop floor scheduling. In addition to the quantitative models, several innovative heuristics are proposed for different problems. This book explores qualitative models on improving the performance of small and medium enterprises and petroleum industries and a simulation model for staff allocation in the information technology industry. Finally, this book provides review articles on vaccine supply chains and behavioral operations management. The book throws light on the emerging trends in the use of analytics, optimization, and simulation tools and empirical analysis to improve the performance of operations and supply chains of organizations. It will serve as an essential resource for practitioners, students, faculty members and scholars in operations management and related areas to gain knowledge and pursue high quality research on developments in areas such as managing the resource management and the solution methodology---innovative tools employed in addressing the real world problems and the different optimization techniques.
