Chair in Enterprise Modelling and Management / BSc (Honours), MSc, PhD, CEng, MIET, MILT
Research interests
Professor Saad graduated with an honours degree in Production Engineering, MSc in Industrial Engineering and a PhD in Manufacturing Engineering from University of Nottingham.
His research interests and experience include design and analysis of manufacturing systems, production planning and control, reconfigurable manufacturing systems and next generation of manufacturing systems including Fractal and Biological Manufacturing Systems, computer simulation, ERP, lean enterprise, fractal supply chain and sustainability/green manufacturing. He has published over 130 articles in various national and international academic journals and conferences, including keynote addresses and a book. He received the 1998 and 2005 Award of Excellence for some of his publications from Emerald. He also has four patents.
One of his recent research works on the 21st Manufacturing Systems funded by EPSRC was rated outstanding and internationally leading research grant. He has supervised/examined massive number of PhD projects and acted as a referee and a member of editorial boards of many of prestigious international journals and conferences; he also acted as a referee for EPSRC and as an external examiner for number of universities in UK, Europe and Australia.
Research collaborations
Professor Saad has led several high profile research and consultancy programmes in collaboration with leading industrial organizations such as BAE SYSTEMS, Rolls Royce, Doncaster Bramah and Boots and Dowty Group USA. In recognition of novel solutions that he developed, BAS SYSTEMS has been sponsoring his readership until he became a chair in Enterprise Modelling and Management in 2006. He has also developed academic and research links with many universities in UK and internationally including Germany, Poland, Egypt, Turkey, Libya and China.
