    Professor Tien Sheng (TS) Lee, Professor Emeritus of the Department of Supply Chain Management and Information Management at The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong, received his PhD in Business Administration and MBA from the University of Missouri-Columbia in the US. He earned his MS in Management Science and BS in Electronic Engineering from National Chiao-Tung University in Taiwan.

    Before joining The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong in January 2009, Professor Lee has been on the Faculty of Business Administration at the Chinese University of Hong Kong since 1992 and was the Faculty Dean from 2002 to 2008. Before he came to Hong Kong in 1992, he taught at the University of Utah for six years and at Bowling Green State University in Ohio for three years. Prior to his academic career, he worked as the Load Forecasting Manager for the State of Missouri's Public Service Commission and as the Product Process Engineer for Texas Instruments (Taiwan).

    Professor Lee’s research interests include production and inventory management, material requirements planning, master production scheduling, and quality management. He has published in academic journals such as Management Science, Decision Sciences, Journal of Operations Management, International Journal of Production Research, International of Production Economics, International Journal of Operations and Production Management, Omega, etc. His works also appear in selected academic journals in Taiwan and China Mainland.

    Professor Lee has been actively engaging in academic and professional services throughout his academic career. He is currently the Associate Editor of Decision Sciences as well as the member of the editorial board for a number of academic journals. In the late 1990s, he was elected as the President of the Asia-Pacific Decision Sciences Institute and the Vice-President of Decision Sciences Institute. Since 1989, he has been involved in academic exchanges with scholars in Taiwan and China Mainland. He has served as Visiting/Consultant Professor for Nankai University, Tianjin University, Nanjing University, Southeast University (Nanjing), Southwest Jiaotung University (Chengdu), Northeastern University (Shengyang), as well as Feng Jia University in Taiwan.
