Unique Background

"Nobody else has your combination of management experience in industry and academic experience as a tenured professor. That's what makes your work so good."

- Steve Bohlman, Executive Director, ACE, Raytheon Technologies

"Bob is the embodiment of the consummate professional who displays quiet confidence and demonstrates integrity at all times. He is secure in his own abilities and always looking to improve, himself, situations, and helping others who are interested in doing the same. If you have the opportunity to talk with or work with Bob, take advantage of the opportunity to collaborate with him, as opportunities like that do not present themselves very often in life."


- Joe Muraca, Senior Corporate Manager, Global Supply Chain, Canberra Industries


"Dr. Emiliani is an unusual academic in the following way. He worked for 15 years in management and technical areas in industry before leaving industry for the academic world AND he has excellent scholarly skills. Most people are successful at one or the other but not both. Bob was successful in industry and had the opportunity to be at the center of a serious effort to implement the Toyota Production System in a unique environment - that of defense contracting and large customized products namely aircraft engines."

- Jeffrey Liker, author of The Toyota Way.
