Dr Yousef Amer

Hello I am Dr. Yousef Amer, lecturer and course coordinator with the School of AME, welcome to my home page. I have over 18 years experience in manufacturing, operations and logistics and supply chain management in various firms in Adelaide, both local and global. I aim to develop links and collaboration with industry (manufacturing, service, retail, and community) to foster relevant and innovate research amongst our students that will meet and address current and future challenges. In my teaching I foster student awareness of industrial needs, process and practice to equip students with tools and techniques to be innovative and adaptive in the changing work environment.
