Dr. Brad Venable, Assistant Professor of the Practice of Management, has always focused his research on continuous process improvement, lean manufacturing, and operations management in several different manufacturing and industrial settings. He has in-depth experience in developing and mentoring employees in those environments for the past 20+ years, working primarily with engineers and production team members. He is transitioning that success into the classroom for the new students coming through High Point University that will eventually be the new work force of tomorrow.
Dr. Venable has experienced those accomplishments in his many years as an adjunct team member for High Point University, teaching Operations and Supply Chain Management at the undergraduate level. In addition, he often refers to this methodology from his peer reviewed article that was published in the Ethics and Critical Thinking Journal and titled: “Benefits of Implementing Concurrent Engineering Practices to Improve Quality, Information, and Product Flow and Lower Costs.” The article was presented to The Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering (ATMAE) conference in May of 2013.
Dr. Venable’s primary career in the manufacturing industry was spent with Penn Engineering & Manufacturing (PEM). During his many years at PEM, Dr. Venable spent time in various roles that led to his proven success that he practices today. Some of these roles include Engineering / Quality Systems Manager, Applications / Sales Engineering Manager, Manufacturing Process Engineer, and Quality Control Engineer.
The Earl N. Phillips School of Business (PSB) is very pleased to have Dr. Venable join HPU where he uses his experience to teach Transportation Logistics Management and Global Supply Chain and Operations Management in the MBA program’s Supply Chain Management concentration.
Dr. Venable earned his Ph.D. in Manufacturing Technology Management from Indiana State University. He is an alumnus of HPU where he earned an MBA in Management. His undergraduate degree is in Mechanical Engineering from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
Welcome, Dr. Venable.
