Mohamed Naim is a former Deputy Dean at Cardiff Business School and is currently the Logistics and Operations Management lead on the establishment of strategic academic partnerships. He is a co-director of the Centre for Advanced Manufacturing Systems at Cardiff (CAMSAC) formerly the EPSRC funded Cardiff University Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre (IMRC). He was the Cardiff lead on the Welsh European Funding Office (WEFO) sponsored project Advanced Sustainable Manufacturing Technologies (ASTUTE), and is a co-director on the current ASTUTE2020 and ASTUTE East programmes. He is a founding member of the Logistics Systems Dynamics Group (LSDG).
Mohamed's current research interests may be summarised as the development of novel business systems engineering approaches to the establishment of resilient supply chains. This encompasses sustainable supply chains and the role of flexibility in lean, agile and leagile systems. Recent supply chain research in the construction sector has led to three best prizes at the Association of Researchers in Construction Management Conference.
In 1996 he was awarded the Institution of Electrical Engineers' Manufacturing Division Premium for a paper on supply chain modelling and simulation. In 2003 he was granted a Royal Academy of Engineering Global Research Award at Linköping University, Sweden.
