UFG, Goiânia-GO,Brazil
From June 11th to 13th,2025
The 24th Symposium of Production, Logistics, and International Operations Management - SIMPOI 2025 will be held from June 11 to 13, 2025 at the Universidade Federal de Goiás, promoted by ANPAD - Brazilian Academy of Management under the responsibility of the academic division GOL - Operations Management and Logistics.
Central theme: Climate Volatility: Redefining Global Operations and Logistics Management
We live in an era marked by climate change and uncertainty, where climate volatility not only challenges the environmental balance, but also directly impacts global operations and logistics in various industries. In response to these challenges, SIMPOI 2025 invites the academic community to explore innovative and strategic solutions that can redefine the way we manage operations and supply chains in an increasingly unpredictable world.
The impact of climate volatility requires new approaches to risk management, driving the transition to regenerative chains and the reconfiguration of logistics models. These challenges are not just limited to changes in transportation and supply conditions, but also include the need to rethink operational and logistical structures with a focus on sustainability and resilience. The circular economy has emerged as one of the most promising responses, promoting the efficient use of resources and the redesign of production chains based on regenerative principles.
In this scenario, digital transformation and Industry 4.0 technologies, such as automation, artificial intelligence and big data, play a central role in adapting and innovating operations management processes. How can we balance innovation and sustainability? How can we integrate regenerative practices in a global context of uncertainty? What logistics strategies are needed to create sustainable and resilient supply chains?
This is an invitation to academics, researchers and management and business professionals to submit papers investigating the intersection between climate volatility and strategic operations and logistics management. We want to discuss how organizations can not only survive, but thrive, by facing these challenges with innovation and socio-environmental responsibility.
Take part in SIMPOI 2025 and contribute to a more sustainable, strategic and resilient future.
