Dear Colleague,

Here is the Call for papers for IESM 2013 Conference.

Full instructions and a list of proposed sessions are available at http://www.iesm13.org. The list of proposed sessions is still under construction. The submission site is available on EasyChair by using this link https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iesm2013.
Submitted papers may be attached to one the proposed sessions or not.
All papers will be peer-reviewed before to be accepted.

Hoping to see you at Rabat next year.
Sincerely
The chairs,


Please feel free to further distribute this invitation also to possibly interested colleagues and students.
Thanks a lot in advance for your kind help.

IESM 2013 - 5th International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Systems Management
Modelling, Optimisation and Simulation  in Research and Industrial Applications:
Challenges and Opportunities
October 28-30, 2013 - Rabat, Morocco
Co-organized by Mohammadia Engineering School (UM5A - Rabat - Morocco)
And University of Valenciennes and Hainaut-Cambrésis (France)

***************************

Decision makers at all levels of management are facing a global, complex and more competitive environment where critical decisions have to be made on a rational basis.. Furthermore, the evaluation of the impact of the decisions made is difficult due to the strong internal and external interconnection between the organization and its environment. Organizations have to deal with more challenges due to fiercer competition, demanding customers, shorter product life cycle and supplier lead time, scarce and expensive resources and more constraining regulations. Therefore, operations require more flexible and highly sophisticated design, planning and production frameworks and techniques. Developing and improving modeling, optimization and simulation techniques is a mandatory step to face these challenges and seize new opportunities for efficient and responsive decision making in a more demanding and complex manufacturing and service environment.

The IESM'13 conference aims to bring together researchers and professionals from all industrial engineering disciplines to discuss issues and share their research and development results and experience.

Researchers and practitioners are invited to participate in the conference and submit their original and unpublished work.
