4 years as a management consultant with Prime Management Resources. As a consultant, he traveled to many small, rural communities like his hometown, and helped companies make improvements to their manufacturing processes and supply chain management – bringing goods from raw materials to manufacture to market. His on-the-job experiences fueled his passion during his subsequent doctoral studies and, later, his academic career teaching these philosophies to his ambitious students. “I always found it interesting how organizations work, helping people figure their jobs out and improving them to make things more efficient, to make quality products,” says Dr. Hill. “I also enjoy implementation, getting people to understand how systems and processes work, and to become part of that process. Getting people involved in the process, and empowering people to improve their work, is important – so they can put their ideas into the organization.” In his classes, Dr. Hill discusses how information technology, which has revolutionized American manufacturing, affects businesses in general. His doctoral dissertation examined the impact of supply chain management and information technology, so he’s passionate about this subject. He says he wants his students to understand not just technology, but also how industry works from a broad perspective, so they can contribute essential knowledge to their future employers. “I talk about how to work with suppliers and customers to improve processes, and to understand what they’re up against, so they can solve their problems. You have to prioritize, and understand how complex a supply chain is,” says Dr. Hill. Most of his students are among the first generation of their families to attend college, and are serious about maximizing their opportunities for good jobs in growing careers. He believes that U.S. manufacturing will provide those opportunities for people with a broad understanding of supply chain systems. “Industry has changed a lot with the use of technology, and the benefits that people see with technology. People have changed the way they do business in America,” he says. Technology originally just made business tasks easier, but it has created the opportunity to analyze data and improve systems in ways that few envisioned, he says. “It fosters collaboration.” ADDITIONAL SOURCES: “The Competitiveness and Innovative Capacity of the United States.” Report by U.S. Department of Commerce in conjunction with the National Economic Council.
