Climate change, geopolitical tensions, black swan events, social injustices and violation of human rights are some of the challenges that current production systems face at a global level. To achieve resilience, production systems need to increase their flexibility and adjust to a continuously changing environment while meeting productivity objectives.
On this basis, we are pleased to announce the organisation of the next Performance Analytics Workshop focusing on the contribution of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) towards sustainable and resilient production systems.
This workshop is organised by the University of Bristol Business School and the Centre for Business Analytics in Practice of the University of Surrey and financially supported by the University of Bristol’s Business Education Research & Scholarship Network (BERS).
