Professor Andrew Potter is a Professor in Logistics and Transport at Cardiff Business School, Cardiff University. His research integrates logistics, transport, and supply chain management with particular emphasis on policy implications and sustainable practices.
His primary research interests include Logistics and Transport Systems, Additive Manufacturing Supply Chains, Maritime Port Operations, and Sustainable Logistics. Potter's work bridges theoretical supply chain concepts with practical policy applications, particularly regarding environmental impacts and technological adoption in transport systems. He has developed significant research streams examining how customer customization preferences affect manufacturing processes and how policy interventions can optimize logistics operations.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward sustainability in maritime operations and digital transformation of ports, with multiple 2024-2025 papers focusing on GHG emissions reduction, 5G adoption in smart ports, and greenwashing impacts. Earlier work established foundational contributions to additive manufacturing supply chains and transport policy analysis.
