Research Interests

A core research focus is on Production Planning and Control (PPC) in low-volume/high-variety contexts, with a particular focus on the Workload Control (WLC) concept for Make-To-Order (MTO) companies. This includes action research through which the concept has recently been implemented in practice. Current research is also investigating how planning and control in job shops is affected by recent challenges, such as: engineering skill shortages, material shortages, offshoring, and a focus on both sustainability and traceability. Other interests include: behavioral operations management – behavioral influences and explanations for operational phenomena; supply chain flexibility; ethical supply chain management and sourcing practices; and, the resilience of supply chains to product counterfeiting.

PhD applications are welcomed in all of the above areas.
