About
I am a Professor of Operations Management and Head of the Centre for Supply Chain Improvement at the University of Derby. I am actively involved in industrial projects where I combine my knowledge, expertise and industrial experience in operations management to help organisations achieve excellence in their internal functions and supply chains.
As a leading academic, I have led and managed international research projects funded by the European Commission, British Academy, Innovate UK, British Council and Mexico’s National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT).
I have published extensively in leading scientific journals and eight books in the areas of operations management and innovation, manufacturing performance measurement, continuous improvement, and quality management systems. I am Co-founder and current Editor of the Int. Journal of Supply Chain and Operations Resilience, Associate Editor of the Int. Journal of Production and Operations Management, Associate Editor of the Journal of Manufacturing Technology Management, Editor-in-Chief of the Int. Journal of Industrial Engineering and Operations Management, Associate Editor of the IET Collaborative Intelligent Manufacturing and Associate Editor of the IIMBG Journal of Sustainable Business and Innovation. I have also guest-edited and led a number of special issues for journals such as Production Planning & Control, Technology Forecasting and Social Change, Supply Chain Management: An International Journal, Journal of Manufacturing Technology Management, Int. Journal of Quality and Reliability Management, TQM Journal, Int. Journal of Lean Six Sigma, among others.
My areas of interest and expertise include Operations and Production Management, Supply Chain and Logistics Management, Lean and Agile Operations and Supply Chains, Sustainability within the context of Operations and Supply Chains, Circular or Closed-Loop Operations and Supply Chains, Sustainable and Green Manufacturing, Industry 4.0 technologies application in operations and supply chains, Lean Management, Quality Management & Operations Excellence and Innovation Management.
In 2023, 2022 and 2021 I was ranked amongst the most highly-cited scientists in the world, according to research by Elsevier and Stanford University.
I am a Chartered Engineer (CEng), a certified Six Sigma-Green Belt, and have over eight years of industrial experience working as Production Manager, Production Engineer and Operations Manager for several global and local companies in both the UK and Mexico. I am also a fellow member of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), Fellow Member of the Society of Industrial Engineering and Operations Management (FIEOM) and a member of the Institution of Engineering Technology (MIET).
