About International Journal of Industrial Engineering and Operations Management

Aims and scope

When submitting a manuscript, authors will be taken to a service called Paperpal Preflight, an AI-driven tool that checks manuscripts against the journal's author guidelines. Authors are free to use or bypass this step and submit directly to ScholarOne.

The International Journal of Industrial Engineering and Operations Management (IJIEOM) is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing knowledge in Operations and Supply Chain Management (OSCM). The journal focuses on the design, optimisation, and management of efficient, resilient, and sustainable operations and supply chain systems in both manufacturing and service contexts.

IJIEOM publishes high-quality theoretical, empirical, and applied research that integrates analytical methods, digital technologies, and managerial insights to address contemporary operational challenges.

The journal places particular emphasis on:

  • Operations and supply chain design, coordination, and resilience
  • Sustainable and circular operations and supply chain systems
  • Production and operations planning, scheduling, and control
  • Logistics, distribution, and transportation systems
  • Data-driven decision-making in operations (analytics, AI, optimisation)
  • Operational performance, productivity, and quality management
  • Digital transformation in operations and supply chains (Industry 4.0/5.0)

Key Themes:

  • Supply Chain Resilience and Risk Management
  • Sustainable and Green Operations
  • Digital Supply Chains and Smart Manufacturing
  • Operations Analytics and Decision Sciences
  • Lean, Six Sigma, and Process Excellence
  • Inventory and Production Systems
  • Circular Economy in Supply Chains

Readership

IJIEOM serves:

  • Academic researchers in operations and supply chain management
  • Industry professionals and consultants
  • Policymakers and supply chain strategists
  • Operations and logistics managers

Types of Contributions

The journal welcomes:

  • Original research articles
  • Empirical and quantitative, qualitative or mixed studies
  • Analytical and modelling papers
  • Case studies with strong methodological insights
  • Review papers (systematic and structured)

Special issues on emerging OSCM themes are periodically published.

IJIEOM operates a double-blind peer review model. All articles undergo an initial assessment by the journal editor. If they are considered suitable for peer review, articles will then be reviewed by a minimum of two external reviewers to assess their suitability for publication. The final responsibility for editorial decisions rests with the journal editor.
