David Simchi-Levi (Hebrew: דוד שמחי-לוי) is an American academic working as a Professor of Engineering Systems at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
[11] David Simchi-Levi's Risk Exposure Model[12] has pioneered a new approach to assessment of supply chain resilience and risk-tolerance.
Subsequently, in April of 2020, he coined the term Supply Chain Stress-Test, see HBR article, which relies on the Risk Exposure Model.
Today companies around the globe are using his approach to quantify the resiliency of their supply chain and develop mitigation strategies.
[14] In 2014, he co-founded Opalytics, a cloud analytics platform company focusing on operations and supply chain intelligence.
[16] In 2023, he has been elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering for contributions using optimization and stochastic modeling to enhance supply chain management and operations.
