Dean Chatfield is an Associate Professor in the Department of Information Technology & Decision Sciences at Old Dominion University , where he teaches and conducts research in supply chain management and simulation modeling. Education: Ph.D. in Management Science and Information Systems, Pennsylvania State University (2001) M.S. in Management Information Systems, Pennsylvania State University (1993) M.B.A. in Finance, Pennsylvania State University (1991) B.S. in Management Systems, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (1989) Research Interests focus on supply chain dynamics and inventory system optimization , particularly examining phenomena like the Bullwhip Effect , stockout propagation , and risk amplification in multi-echelon systems. His work employs discrete-event simulation and agent-based modeling to develop decision support frameworks for complex supply chain scenarios, including cascading failures and stochastic lead times. Representative Publications include simulation studies on network characteristics affecting supply chain resilience (International Journal of Production Economics, 2020), crossover-aware inventory policies (Transportation Research Part E, 2018), and quantifying information-sharing impacts on demand amplification (Production and Operations Management, 2004). His research has secured over $834,238 in grants , including a $551,438 NSF CAREER award for simulation-based inventory modeling. Scientific Honors: 2005 Best Application Research Paper, Decision Sciences Institute Grants address technology gaps in transportation logistics and mathematical frameworks for service-driven systems. He has developed specialized simulation tools like SISCO and SCML to support industry applications.
