Wee Meng joined the Adam Smith Business School in January 2018. He is interested in pursuing practice-inspired research and teaching in operations management.
Prior to joining University of Glasgow, he was a research scientist at the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology. In his former role, he was involved in industry-assist projects such as software development and training in the areas of demand forecasting and inventory planning.
He also held postdoctoral position at Georgia Institute of Technology, and was a member of the adjunct faculty with Singapore Management University.
Research interests
Wee Meng is a member of the Services and Operations Management research cluster.
Areas of expertise:
- Supply chain and operations management
- Inventory control
Grants
- Pricing and incentives for new transport solutions in towns and small cities (with CollectiveTech and University of Aberdeen), via ASPECT Zinc, £4580, 2020

Supervision
Wee is interested in supervising PhD projects in the fields of:
- inventory control and optimisation
- operations-marketing interface
- non-profit operations
Currently, his research uses quantitative techniques in applied probability, operations research and game theory. However, he also welcome students with interests to apply multidisciplinary approaches to pursue similar research areas.
Wee and his colleague Dr Farhad Shafti have considered supervising a PhD student in the area of foodbank supply chain. This research aims to explore how they can improve the UK foodbank and adopts a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches to draw insights into supply chain design. In effect, this topic falls under a broader class of closed-loop supply chain pertaining to non-profit organisations such as foodbank to explore an optimised or desirable setup for their operations. This is their initial idea, but they are flexible to consider any interesting variations of the above.
Currently there is no available financial support for this topic, but once a suitable candidate starts the work, any appropriate opportunities will be considered. There are no guarantees that such opportunities result in financial support, therefore the candidate needs to be prepared for self-finance. Please provide your cv, academic transcript, and a proposal outlining how your interests can be a good fit for this particular research agenda.
