Operations and Supply Chain Excellence Institute

Overview

In early 2017, Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University established the Operational and Supply Chain Excellence Institute (OSCE) to provide technology and management services for economic and social development.

Research within the OSCE focusses on developing and testing innovative approaches that can be implemented in companies to meet supply chain challenges and optimise how companies operate to establish a competitive edge.

Strategically, the Institute, with its current network of companies, is well-placed to work with a wide range of industrial partners across Suzhou Industrial Park. The aim is to generate approaches that can be tailored to assist businesses across a wide range of industry sectors and related services. The overall aim is to establish the region as a hub of expertise and excellence that can be marketed to attract more enterprises.
