The summer workshop of Operations Research and Supply Chain Management (OR/SCM) is regularly held annually in Taiwan. This year was the 8th workshop since 2009. Typically three or four invited guest speakers will give us a 3 or 6-hour lecture about the cutting-edge research topics in OR or SCM. This year Andrew Johnson was one of the speakers and talked about, Production Function Estimation: An application of shape constrained functional estimation.
