MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL ( 3/26/2007 ) -- Professor Roger Schroeder of the Operations and Management Science Department at the University of Minnesota Carlson School of Management, was recently elected a 2007 Production and Operations Management Society (POMS) Fellow, the most prestigious lifetime honor awarded by the society. Schroeder is one of only two POMS members, from a total membership of more than 1,000, elected to the status of fellow this year for his leadership and exceptional intellectual contributions to production and operations management through research and teaching. Schroeder will accept his award in May at the annual POMS meeting in Dallas. Schroeder holds the Frank A. Donaldson Chair in Operations Management and is the founding chair of the operations and management science department at the Carlson School. He also is the co-director of the Joseph M. Juran Center for Leadership in Quality at the Carlson School. Schroeder's colleagues consider him to be the intellectual leader and key mentor for the department's faculty and current and former doctoral students. "Roger's nomination and selection as a POMS Fellow indicates and supports the strength and quality of the Carlson School and its highly motivated faculty," said Alison Davis-Blake, dean of the Carlson School of Management. "We are pleased that Roger is being recognized for his achievements and continued dedication to this field." One of the first operations management scholars to embrace the empirical research tradition, Schroeder currently has one of the most active and productive research programs studying the effects of quality on global competitiveness. Schroeder's research involves collecting data from 280 manufacturing plants in eight different countries. Among other findings, his research shows that high-performance operations beat their competitors on at least one measure of cost, quality, delivery or flexibility. Schroeder researches quality management, operations strategy and high-performance manufacturing. He is the author of five books and more than 150 research articles and widely recognized and honored for his expertise. In 2005, Schroeder was named one of the top 50 researchers worldwide in economics and business, based on the number of citations in papers published in the past decade. That same year, he was inducted into the University of Minnesota Academy of Distinguished Teachers. In 2004, Schroeder received a Lifetime Scholarship Achievement Award from the Academy of Management, Operations Management Division. Schroeder has received seven National Science Foundation grants to study quality management and high performance operations.
