This special issue addresses the urgent need to understand and manage global supply chain reconfiguration in response to tariff uncertainty and shifting trade policies. Rising tariffs and trade tensions are forcing organizations to redesign their sourcing strategies, manufacturing locations, and logistics networks, creating significant practical challenges that require new analytical approaches.

The journal seeks high-quality contributions that apply operations research and artificial intelligence methods to develop decision-making models for supply chain management under tariff uncertainty. Both theoretical advances and practical case studies are welcome, particularly interdisciplinary research that combines OR, AI, supply chain management, and international economics with real-world applications.
