Professor Jonathan Gosling
Professor in Logistics and Operations Management
- Available for postgraduate supervision
Overview
I am a Professor of Supply Chain Management, and also Deputy Director of the Business and Management PhD Programme at Cardiff Business School. Prior to becoming an academic, I worked in the automotive industry as a supply chain analyst, but now focus primarily on 'project-based' industries.
My research focuses on 'engineer-to-order' supply chain environments, where bespoke innovative engineering work is undertaken for individual customers. This typically occurs in the domain of large complex engineering projects, as found in construction, shipbuilding, and capital goods sectors. I have worked with a wide range of organisations, supply chains, and other academic institutions to further our understanding of how to manage these challenging sectors.
I have worked on a number of funded research projects, which have given insights into establishing procurement and contractual conditions for successful project delivery, the digitization of construction processes across the supply chain, implementing circular economy models, and defining/managing appropriate supply chain relationships and approaches.
I typically adopt a collaborative problem solving approach, using systems thinking tools, techniques and modes of working, to facilitate improvements and challenge current practice. Much of my work is practice orientated, and projects have to positive impacts on supply chains, as demonstrated through the practical case studies below:
