These regards comprise the idea of generating a logical environment in which development is challenged to enhance the quality of all aspects in real life. SD is in accordance with human awareness of itself and the planet’s natural resources and pursues a sustainable fashion of life for all human beings and disaccords with over-consumption, waste and omission of future generations and disassociation from the past. Hence, one of the main questions may be whether the current lifestyle is passable and whether it is suitable for this fashion of life and the application of required resources to be given to future generations?</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Industries are the centers of attention to be synchronized with SD. In the literature, a variety of optimization problems have been developed to determine appropriate, eligible, and finally, optimal solutions for industries to fulfill the requirements of SD. Moreover, different solution techniques and tools have been widely utilized and designed by researchers and policy-makers to treat these complex problems. Exact, heuristic, meta-heuristic, hybrid and Artificial Intelligence (AI) based techniques are among the most applicable. It can be inferred that in the future, almost all aspects of human daily life will be influenced by the advancement of these tools. For this purpose, experts believe that the development of efficient solution techniques is rapidly transforming from a decorative tool, complicated or vague, to an exigency.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">This Special Issue on “Sustainable development of intelligent supply chains based on trends and future directions: Application of novel solution techniques” enables transparent, fair, rapid communication of research that highlights the role of Operations Research (OR) and engineering in multidisciplinary fields across mathematical programming and optimization. Emphasis is on the impact, depth, and originality of novel concepts, methods, and observations in using novel techniques.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Manuscript submissions are encouraged from a broad range of related topics, which may include but are not limited to the following activities:</p> <ul style="text-align: justify;"> <li>The role of Industry 4.0 for sustainable supply chain management</li> <li>Sustainable and intelligent manufacturing systems</li> <li>Sustainable waste management using intelligent approaches</li> <li>AI-based optimization techniques for SD problems</li> <li>Application of data-driven methods in SD problems</li> <li>Application of novel uncertainty approaches in SD problems</li> <li>Application of efficient exact solution methods for SD problems</li> <li>Application of big data analytics in supply chain intelligence</li> <li>Application of neural networks in supply chain intelligence</li> <li>Application of machine learning in supply chain intelligence</li> <li>Application of novel meta-heuristic algorithm in supply chain network design</li> </ul> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Important Dates</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Full Paper Submission will start on: </strong>1 March 2023</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Full Paper Submission will close on:</strong> 31 December 2023</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Notification of First Decision</strong>: 5 months after submission</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Submission of Revised Manuscript</strong>: 2 month after 1st review notification</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Final Decision</strong>: 3 months after resubmission</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Guest Editors</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dr. Alireza Goli (Lead Guest Editor)</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Prof. Jose Arturo Garza-Reyes</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Professor of Operations Management, Head of the Centre for Supply Chain Improvement</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">College of Business, Law and Social Sciences, The University of Derby, Kedleston Road Campus</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dr. Irfan Ali</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Department of Statistics & Operations Research, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh-202002, India</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><u> </u></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Alireza Goli</strong> was born in Isfahan, Iran, in 1989.
