Dirk Pieter van Donk is a Professor in Operations Management in the Department Operations, University of Groningen, The Netherlands. He teaches and taught a number of courses in Production/Operations Management both at the undergraduate and graduate level. His main research areas are Supply Chain Management and Integration, and planning/scheduling in the (food) processing industries. In the field of Supply Chain Management the main research questions relate to a better understanding of supply chain integration: the need for it, its dimensions, the relationship with ICT, and the effects on performance. In food processing the main focus is to better understand how specific characteristics influence planning and scheduling. Some themes here are the location of the Decoupling Point, combined Make-to-Order/Make-to-Stock and two-stage systems with intermediate storage.
He has published in Journal of Operations Management, Journal of Supply Chain Management, International Journal of Operations & Production Management, International Journal of Project Management, International Journal on Production Economics, International Journal of Production Research, Journal of Purchasing & Supply Management, and Chemical Engineering Research and Design.  He is a reviewer for a number of the above Operations Management journals. Currently he also is Associate Editor of the Journal of Operations Management, Journal of Supply Chain Management, and of the  International Journal of Operations & Production Management. He organized international conferences and workshops (see below) and edited a special issues for JOM and four for IJOPM.
