During his time with the institution, Dr. Rotimi Aderohunmu researched various complex business concepts, including just-in-time manufacturing.
Just-in-time manufacturing is a strategy that minimizes waste during manufacturing by only supplying the parts needed to complete the production of ordered items. First introduced in Japan in the 1970s, the concept allows manufacturers to reduce their unused inventory and avoid the expense of maintaining an unnecessary stock of parts.
By utilizing the just-in-time inventory control approach, businesses maximize their profit margin and have more funds available for other business purposes. This system does require manufacturers to have highly efficient machines and a set of suppliers that are immediately ready to send parts as requested. Just-in-time manufacturing is a valuable component of the continuous improvement plan of a variety of businesses.

The term “operational research” was first voiced in the late 1930s to describe the use of scientists in the assessment of military strategy. Today, the practice can be applied to a wide range of fields that use scientific methods to study and analyze data, and extrapolate helpful advice from this information.
The Operational Research Society consists of more than 2,000 members across some 50 countries. Its members use this specialized approach in the areas of health and social services, public policy design, defense, and mathematical programming.
