We would like to congratulate Dr. Robert Stoll for receiving his DBA in Operations and Supply Chain Management from Cleveland State University on May 15, 2010. His dissertation was entitled, "Collaborative Planning Forecasting Replenishment (CPFR): Successful Implementation Attributes," and his teaching and research interests include the areas of supply chain management, statistics, operations management, and management science. An overview of Stoll's dissertation is below:
"This dissertation offers a theoretical and empirical explanation for why interfirm collaborations form yet often fail, and further suggests how firms might manage them for a more positive outcome. Since CPFR implementations are a recent phenomena and its literature base is extremely thin, a triangulation research method is employed."
-Dr. Robert Stoll
After receiving his Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University in 1990, Stoll has taught several courses for the Department of Operations & Supply Chain Management at CSU, including "Mathematical Models for Business" and "Management of Innovation, Technology & Quality." He currently serves as a Visiting Assistant Professor for the department.
In addition, Dr. Stoll has teaching experience at Baldwin-Wallace College, Lake Erie College, and the University of Akron. He also has extensive work experience from his time at three manufacturing plants, both domestically and internationally.
Congratulations Dr. Stoll!
