As the eight previous APIEMS conferences, this conference is organized by the Asia Pacific Industrial Engineering and Management Society (APIEMS). This society was established to achieve the following purposes: (1) to promote the dissemination of knowledge and information relating to Industrial Engineering and Management by means of meetings, publications, awarding and related activities, and (2) to promote mutual interaction and cooperation among professional organizations and staff related to the Industrial Engineering and Management discipline in the Asia Pacific Rim and in the world. Based on the purposes, this conference has set the following objectives: 1) To enable the exchange of knowledge and research results about Industrial Engineering and Management, 2) To involve a broad range of participants from different countries, and to raise awareness of participants that the power of collaboration and interdependence can bring to producing an outcome greater than the sum of those of each individual In addition to the above objectives, it should be noted that this conference is able to give us an experience on how to pursue our work and leisure times one after another as an integrated way of life.
Both work and leisure give meaning to our lives and we need leisure time to refresh ourselves for work.
In Bali, all participants could enjoy sun, beaches, watersports, cultural and artistic performances,
museums, hypnotic tones of traditional music, and countless places to eat. All are certainly worth trying.
The APIEMS conference has really been an important international forum for the presentation of
research results and for the exchange of the ideas on industrial engineering and management topics. The reason is that the APIEMS conferences have attracted a great number of participants from many
different countries. As for this conference, it includes 361 research papers on exciting topics in Industrial Engineering and Management Systems from 22 countries, and exhibitions from our main sponsors, ILOG and Minitab. The papers will be presented in 21 tracks of 68 sessions spanning three full days. In addition to the research paper presentations, one invited keynote presentation will be given. Professor Suresh P. Sethi of School of Management, University of Texas at Dallas, USA, will speak on an excellent topics titled “Cooperative Advertising and Pricing in a Dynamic Stochastic Supply Chain: Feedback Stackelberg Strategies.”
The fact is that so many busy people have taken the trouble to help us with their enthusiasm and
professionalism in making this conference such a success. First of all, we would like to express our
gratitude to the numerous referees who generously volunteered their time and expertise to review the
abstracts and the full papers. Our thanks must also go to all authors who submitted excellent papers
about their work to this conference. We are grateful to the APIEMS board members and the President of
APIEMS for their prompt, helpful, and inspiring counsels. We are particularly indebted to the keynote speaker for his availability to come to Bali from USA and deliver his thoughtful speech. We would also like to extend our thanks to the Rector of Bandung Institute of Technology, Bandung, Indonesia, and the Rector of Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology, Surabaya, Indonesia, as well as to the sponsors for their supports.
Finally, we wish to acknowledge all people for their participation and contribution to the conference,
and we are really looking forward to seeing all participants again at the 2009 APIEMS conference to be held in Japan.
