Division Chair David Gillen
Every organization either manufactures a product, or provides a service, or both. "Operations" refers to the part of the organization that actually produces the product or service, while "logistics" refers to the part of the organization that delivers the product or service to the customer. Thus the Division studies fields such as operations management (the study of operations in a manufacturing or service organization), transportation (how physical goods move through a distribution system), distribution planning (designing a logistics network), and supply chain management (managing the flows of goods and information between different organizations). We also have strengths in the economic analysis of transportation systems, in formulating and solving models of production and distribution systems, in modeling financial risks, in the methodologies of operations research and management science, and in data analysis.
