With our growing global economy, today’s supply chains are more complex than ever. Suppliers are not constrained to a city, state or even country, which makes managing a supply chain a challenging task. A single disruption in one element can adversely affect the entire process.

His research interests focus on supply chain risk management, health-care operations management, reverse logistics, closed-loop supply chains, queuing networks, and service quality in the aviation industry. He has conducted projects related to supply chain risk management and logistics infrastructure in Louisville, Kentucky, a major supply chain hub. Dr. Gupta has authored and co-authored numerous articles related to supply chain and logistics and teaches courses in operations management, purchasing, project management, logistics management, and more.
