Dear colleagues,

The Logistics & Supply Chain Division of the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers (IISE) is sponsoring the Facilities Design & Planning Track at the 2020 IISE Annual Conference & Expo. The conference is a forum for exchanging knowledge and discoveries in the industrial and systems engineering research and practitioner communities. The 2020 IISE Annual Conference & Expo will continue to integrate research and industry applications under one conference.

As track chairs of the Facilities Design & Planning Track, we invite you to contribute to the conference and the track by submitting a 1 page extended abstract (template provided on the abstract submission website). Authors will be able to claim their work as refereed extended abstracts, which will be available on the conference website and can be cited. They will not be copyrighted or indexed in the official conference proceedings, and, therefore, there is no limitation on reusing material from the extended abstract for other purposes (e.g., toward the publication of journal papers or subsequent conference proceedings). Extended abstracts are welcome in the following areas:

●    Facility Design and Layout
●    Material Handling Systems
●    Storage and Handling Systems
●    Order Fulfillment Systems
●    Order Picking Systems
●    Warehouse Automation
●    Warehouse Operations
●    Warehouse Management Systems
●     Warehouse Logistics
●    Distribution Operations

●    Cross Docking and Transportation
●    Container Operations
●    Single-Echelon Inventory Tracking and Control
●    Sensor Systems for Warehouses
●    Ergonomics in Facility Logistics
●    Retail Store Space Management
●     Green and Sustainable Facilities
●     Facilities Planning in Disaster Recovery
●    Physical Internet
●     Material Handling Education


Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to present their work in a technical session. Regular sessions will be 80 minutes and have up to four presenters. There are also opportunities to organize special sessions (e.g., tutorials, panels, workshops). If you are interested in organizing such a session, please contact the track chairs by November 5, 2019. We also encourage all presenters to submit a full length paper for the conference proceedings. The papers should contain methods and results that are significant and have archival value to the industrial and systems engineering community. Full papers have a 6-page limit and will undergo a double-blind peer review process. All accepted papers will be copyrighted and indexed in the conference proceedings via ProQuest.

Important deadlines:
●    Abstract submission deadline:                                                  November 8, 2019
●    Notification of decision on abstract:                                            December 5, 2019
●    Paper submission deadline (optional but encouraged):                January 20, 2020
●    Notification of decision on paper:                                                February 24, 2020
●    Paper final revision submission deadline:                                    March 13, 2020
●    Presenting author registration deadline:                                       March 13, 2020

If your abstract or paper is accepted: (a) the presenting author for the paper must register for the conference by March 13, 2020 (presentations/papers without a registered presenting author will be withdrawn from the program and the proceedings); (b) the presenting author must attend and present the paper at the conference; and (c) we ask that you be ready to serve as a reviewer for other papers in the track and follow the review deadlines.
We look forward to seeing you in New Orleans!
