My primary research interest is in developing optimal approaches to design resilient and sustainable supply chains where quality, costs, lead time, flexibility, reliability, logistics and risks are effectively managed. Supply chain management (SCM) is an integral part of most business and is essential to organization success. Nevertheless, SCM boosts customer services and reduces operating costs, but, SCM also helps sustain human life by delivering food and water to masses, it improves human healthcare and also protects human from climate extremes. Recently, my research has introduced supply chain resilience framework that has brought together four important supply chain management areas: collaboration, knowledge management, logistics and sourcing. Further, one of our paper is recently published in Journal of Knowledge Management that has contributed in terms of linking the knowledge management areas to achieve supply chain resilience. We have also recently completed one project where we have introduced Haddon Matrix to report evidence based supply chain resilience strategies against covid19 related disruptions. Currently, i am working on resilience and optimization of food, export, forestry related supply chains in New Zealand.
