معرفی
Qinyun Li is a Senior Lecturer in Supply Chain Dynamics at Cardiff Business School, Cardiff University, where he also earned his PhD. His research focuses on production planning, inventory management, supply chain contracts, supply network design, and forecasting methodologies.
His educational background includes:
- PhD in “A System Dynamics Perspective of Forecasting in Supply Chains” from Cardiff University
- Postgraduate Certificate in University Teaching and Learning
- Fellow of The Higher Education Academy
Li’s research centers on supply chain dynamics, particularly the intersection of forecasting methods and inventory control systems. His work analyzes how damped trend forecasting interacts with order-up-to policies to mitigate bullwhip effects and improve supply chain stability. He investigates closed-loop supply chains, food supply networks, and the impact of social media on operational performance, employing mathematical modeling and system dynamics approaches to address real-world logistics challenges.
His publication portfolio reveals a consistent focus on inventory control theory and forecasting accuracy, with recent work expanding into digital supply chain applications like online review systems and flexible production networks. Articles predominantly appear in top-tier journals such as International Journal of Production Economics, European Journal of Operational Research, and Omega, demonstrating methodological rigor in operations research.
Scientific recognition includes:
- Outstanding Non-Government Sponsored Student Abroad Award from Chinese Government (2014)
Li actively supervises doctoral research in inventory management, production system design, and supply network optimization. His industry experience informs practical teaching in operations management courses, where he bridges academic theory with real-world applications from his six years in multinational corporations managing production, logistics, and procurement systems.
