16th International Symposium on Inventories August 22, 2010

ISIR (International Society for Inventory Research) is a strictly professional, nonprofit organization, which endeavors to provide those engaged in inventory research with an opportunity to exchange views and experiences on an international and interdisciplinary basis: to provide an appropriate and comprehensive framework for the dissemination of research results attained in the members’ country and to take an initiative in the development of research and higher education.

The professional objectives of organizing this meeting are similar to those of the previous symposia: to provide a forum for an international exchange of ideas on various aspects of inventories. Papers on macro- and microeconomics, econometrics, economic policy, business, management and operational research aspects of inventory problems and related fields (production, logistics, etc.) are invited.
