INTRODUCTION

The aim of this ESRC sponsored seminar series is to enlighten people about current trends in Operations Management that are affecting the UK.  Each seminar focuses upon a different trend.  The objectives are to:

  • Present industrial and academic perspectives about trends in operations management.
  • Discuss why these trends have occurred and their future potential impact for the UK economy and society.
  • Create a research agenda to help prepare the UK to cope with such trends.

The seminar series debates the current trends presented, their impact upon operations management and shares emerging best practices.  Seminars involve a mixture of academics, consultants, managers and students.  New case studies, best practice and research findings are presented.  The series also aims to set an agenda for further multi-disciplined research.
