Kouvelis served as the senior associate dean and director of executive programs at the Olin Business School from 2009 to 2013, as well as area chair of the Operations and Manufacturing Management department from 2005 to 2009. He has accepted visiting professorships at the WHU-Otto Beisheim School of Management,[12] the University of Chicago,[13] and Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

Kouvelis is an editor for the journals Production & Operations Management[14] and Manufacturing and Service Operations Management,[15] and is the editor-in-chief of Foundations and Trends in Technology, Information and Operations Management.[16] He has offered editorial services for all top operations research journals, including Operations Research and Management Science.

The Boeing Center for Supply Chain Innovation

edit

Kouvelis was a founding co-director of The Boeing Center for Technology, Information, and Manufacturing in 1997. He became the director of the center in 2000, and continues to direct it.[17] The center was renamed to The Boeing Center for Supply Chain Innovation[18] (BCSCI) in 2016.

Awards and honors

edit
  • Distinguished MSOM Fellow Award (2022)[19] - Highest honor that can be bestowed upon a research scholar in the field of operations management. Rare distinction, akin to a lifetime achievement award, recognizes outstanding scholarship and research accomplishments throughout one’s career.
