Logistics and Operations Management

I am a former Head of the Logistics and Operations Management Section and a former Deputy Dean at Cardiff Business School. I am also the former director of the Centre for Advanced Manufacturing Systems at Cardiff (CAMSAC) previously the EPSRC funded Cardiff University Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre (IMRC). I currently leading a Knowledge Transfer Partnership project with Tower Cold Chain Solutions Ltd. developing novel modelling and optimisation techniques to enhance the environmental, social and economic performance of its logistics network. I was the Cardiff lead on the Welsh European Funding Office (WEFO) sponsored project Advanced Sustainable Manufacturing Technologies (ASTUTE), and a co-director on the ASTUTE2020 and ASTUTE East programmes. I am a founding member of the Logistics Systems Dynamics Group (LSDG). I am also an author of two Research Excellence Framework 2021 impact cases - driving innovative procurement and developing financially sustainable supply chains.

My current research interests may be summarised as the development of novel business systems engineering approaches to the establishment of resilient supply chains. This encompasses sustainable and circular supply chains, and the role of flexibility in lean, agile and leagile systems. Recent supply chain research in the construction sector has led to three best prizes at the Association of Researchers in Construction Management Conference.

In 1996 I was awarded the Institution of Electrical Engineers' Manufacturing Division Premium for a paper on supply chain modelling and simulation. In 2003 I was granted a Royal Academy of Engineering Global Research Award at Linköping University, Sweden. I am currently an International Visiting Professor, funded by the Knowledge Foundation (KK), at the School of Engineering, Jönköping University, having previously been an Expert Advisor on AFAIR, a multidisciplinary research project exploring data-driven decision making, and more specifically the role of artificial intelligence, in industrial organisations.
