Henny van Ooijen, PhD, is assistant professor in Production and Operations Management at the School of Industrial Engineering of Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands. He received his PhD in 1996 for research on workload control. He teaches the courses Introduction to Industrial Engineering, Analyses of Production, Warehousing and Transportation Systems, Control of Dynamic Processes in Production, Modeling and Analysis of Manufacturing Systems, Design of Operational Planning and Control Systems. Corné Dirne, PhD, is currently lector for Operational Excellence at the Fontys University of Applied Sciences, The Netherlands. He received his PhD in 1990 for research on the production control of flexible manufacturing systems. He has been senior lecturer and curriculum coordinator for Industrial Engineering at Avans University of Applied Sciences; during that period he has contributed to the development of a new four-year English-language university program focused on Maintenance Management.
