SPEAKER INTRODUCTION:
Professor in Quantitative Methods in Production, Operations, Logistics and Supply Chain Management, and Director of the Graduate Program in “Management and Economics” of the Department of Economic Sciences, Division of Business Administration, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece.
Chrissoleon Papadopoulos’ research covers the areas of manufacturing and supply chains: manufacturing systems engineering, stochastic modeling of manufacturing and service/logistics systems, and development of decision support systems to assist manufacturing and supply chain managers.
He has published over 35 journal papers (in international journals: International Journal of Production Research, Operations Research, Naval Research Logistics, European Journal of Operational Research, International Journal of Production Research, IIE Transactions, Computers and Industrial Engineering, Computers and Operations Research, Omega, International Transactions of Operational Research, Computers in Industry, among others), 2 books (published by Chapman & Hall, 1993 and Springer, 2009) and 2 edited books (published by Kluwer, 2003 and Springer, 2006) and a Chapter in a book published by Springer, 2013, in the area of Stochastic Modeling of Manufacturing and Service Operations (SMMSO) and many international and national Conference papers.
He is an invited member of the Editorial Board of the International journals: International Journal of Production Research (IJPR), Computers and Industrial Engineering (CIE), Decision Making in Manufacturing and Services, and he has served as a Department Editor of the IIE Transactions and other journals in Operations Management and Logistics/Supply Chain Management. He is Guest co-Editor in several Volumes/Special Issues in the area of SMMSO of the journal Annals of Operations Research (ANOR), one Volume of IIE Transactions and one Volume of OR Spectrum. Professor Papadopoulos is referee/reviewer of over 20 international journals in the area of SMMSO, Manufacturing, Logistics and Supply Chain Management and Decision Support Systems.
He has been the founding Organizer/Chair of the Series of International Conferences in the area of SMMSO and has organized the first five Conferences of this Series (1997, 1999, 2001, 2003 and 2005) and the 30th Computers and Industrial Engineering (CIE) international Conference (2002).
He has supervised several Master and Ph.D. theses at various Universities (in Ireland and Greece) and has been teaching several courses and modules in Production/Operations Management, Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Operations Research, Probability and Statistics and Design Management at both under- (for 25 years) and post-graduate level (for over 15 years). Also, he has distance learning experience of 6 years with the Greek Open University.
