OPERATIONAL AND SUPPLY CHAIN EXCELLENCE INSTITUTE (OSCE)

Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University established the Operational and Supply Chain Excellence Institute (OSCE) in early 2017 to actively provide technology and management services to local and international businesses and drive economic and social development.

Research within the OSCE focuses on developing and testing innovative approaches that can be implemented in companies to meet modern challenges and ptimize operations to establish a competitive edge.

With its location, expertise and wide network of companies, the institute is well-placed to work with a wide range of industrial partners across the Suzhou SIP district, an area home to tens of thousands of cutting-edge businesses. The OSCE aims to generate approaches that can be tailored to assist businesses across a wide range of industry sectors and related services. This feeds into the overarching goal of the OSCE, which is to establish and cultivate the region as a hub of expertise and excellence that will attract greater numbers of new enterprises.
