In collaboration with the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics, the MIT Industrial Liaison Program will host a full-day management conference,"Supply Chain Management Under the Threat of International Terrorism," on December 5.
The program will feature a series of presentations and discussions by MIT faculty, government officials, and industry leaders including representatives from Intel, United Parcel Service, British Telecom and Accenture.
"The events of 9/11 made it clear that firms are vulnerable not only to attacks on their own assets, but also to attacks on their suppliers, customers, transportation providers, communication lines and other elements in their eco-system," said Yossi Sheffi, director of the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics.
