Abstract
To sustain its leading position, Hong Kong needs to reinvent itself from a pure transportation hub to an efficient logistics hub by providing greater value to the goods flowing in the global supply chain that connects the Greater China region with the rest of the world.
HKUST recently established the Logistics and Supply Chain Management Institute to enhance this essential area of the Hong Kong economy. It seeks to expand knowledge and boost logistics industry through world-class research, education and industry cooperation.
Current research projects include decision support technologies for intelligent logistics and transportation management; design of supply chain networks; inventory management systems; and route guidance systems for multi-modal transport networks.
