Biography
David Menachof, Ph.D., is an associate professor in the Department of Information Technology and Operations Management in the College of Business at Florida Atlantic University. He previously held the Peter Thompson Chair in Port Logistics and director of the Centre for Logistics Research based at the Logistics Institute at Hull University Business School. Menachof received his doctorate from the University of Tennessee and was the recipient of the Council of Logistics Management’s Doctoral Dissertation Award in 1993. In addition, he is a Fulbright Scholar, having spent an academic year in Odessa, Ukraine as part of the grant and was on the roster of the Fulbright Senior Specialist Candidates list as an expert in Logistics and Distribution. He has previously held posts at the Cass Business School, City University, London, the University of Charleston, South Carolina, and the University of Plymouth, England.
Menachof, in collaboration with Drs. Alessandro Creazza and Claudia Colicchia, completed a seed corn project on cyber risk in the supply chain funded by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport. The project was an initial attempt to identify the state of the supply chain industry’s preparedness for cyber risk. Early results indicate that there are potential gaps that could be exploited.

"The supply chain is kind of the end to end, from the source of the product all the way to that final consumer.You need people to look at the whole picture and understand the implications of any of the decisions that you make,"said Dr. David Menachof, associate professor at FAU's College of Business.

The transaction is a sign of a healthy local economy, said David Menachof, associate professor at Florida Atlantic University's College of Business. "It's a good sign," Menachof said. "A purchase of that sort says they're in it for the long term and they want to see their investment grow over the years."

David Menachof is an associate professor and director at Florida Atlantic University's Masters in Supply Chain Management program. He says right now, there is just too much volume in the system and not enough people to move it around. Menachof says there are dozens of container ships lined up off the coast of California, full of products. "It's not just that there's too many container ships and we're trying to supply everything, the ports themselves just cannot load and unload those containers fast enough and if they could there are just not enough rail cars and truckers to take the containers out of the Port to allow more space to unload additional containers," he says. "If you lined them (containers) up end to end it would stretch from LA to the Mississippi River, so that is a lot of containers containing a lot of product."

Exploring logistics service quality in Hai Phong, Vietnam
The Asian Journal of Shipping and Logistics2020 Paper explores different stakeholder perceptions of logistics service quality in Hai Phong, Vietnam, one of the country's most important port complexes and largest logistics hubs. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with customers, logistics service providers and port operators. Fourteen important variables were found with delivery time and shipment condition perceived by all groups as most important. Variables related to human factors were considered important by customers but not by logistics service providers. The paper contributes to our knowledge of what logistics service quality entails in a developing country that is lower on a logistics maturity scale, such as Vietnam, and provides managers with insights on what logistics service quality factors to address to enhance customers’ perceptions regarding their expectations.
Managing cyber and information risks in supply chains: insights from an exploratory analysis
Supply Chain Management: An International Journal2019 The purpose of this paper is to explore how companies approach the management of cyber and information risks in their supply chain, what initiatives they adopt to this aim, and to what extent along the supply chain. In fact, the increasing level of connectivity is transforming supply chains, and it creates new opportunities but also new risks in the cyber space. Hence, cyber supply chain risk management (CSCRM) is emerging as a new management construct. The ultimate aim is to help organizations in understanding and improving the CSCRM process and cyber resilience in their supply chains.
Scenario analysis and disaster preparedness for port and maritime logistics risk management
Accident Analysis & Prevention2019 System Dynamics (SD) modelling is used to investigate the impacts of policy interventions on industry actors’ preparedness to mitigate risks and to recover from disruptions along the maritime logistics and supply chain network. The model suggests a bi-directional relation between regulation and industry actors’ behaviour towards Disaster Preparedness (DP) in maritime logistics networks. The model also showed that the level of DP is highly contingent on forecast accuracy, technology change, attitude to risk prevention, port activities, and port environment.
Ethical sourcing: An analysis of the literature and implications for future research
Journal of Business Ethics2018 The purpose of this study is to present a rigorous, focused review on how this field of ethical sourcing research has grown and evolved over the decades, providing implications for future research. We combine two research methodologies in this study: a systematic literature review and a citation network analysis. The former is used as a scientific tool to select the most relevant ethical sourcing articles, while the latter is then applied as a research technique to analyse these selected articles. Such a combined approach allows for a rigorous investigation into this field of research in a more scientific and objective way.
A combined supply chain optimisation model for the installation phase of offshore wind projects
International Journal of Production Research2017 This paper proposes a combined model for port selection and supply chain optimisation for the installation phase of an offshore wind farm. Two strategic models are proposed where the first model, based on Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), aims to select the most suitable installation port. The second model is developed using Integer Linear Programming (ILP) in order to determine the optimal transportation schedule of the components from suppliers to the chosen installation port. The proposed models are evaluated for the West Gabbard (UK) offshore wind farm located in southern part of the North Sea. According to the computational results, the AHP model chooses port of Oostende, Belgium as the most suitable installation port for this offshore wind farm whereas the proposed supply chain model shows that the total transportation cost makes up 9% of total supply chain cost.
