Professor Hausman performs research in operations planning and control, with specific interests in production and distribution planning, inventory control, multi-echelon inventory systems, and supply chain management. Most of his contributions are based upon quantitative modeling techniques and emphasize relevance and real world applicability.

He has recently studied how RFID technology can revolutionize the management of supply chains. He has investigated the value of RFID applications in retail environments, in logistics, and in manufacturing and assembly operations. He has also studied how operational improvements in retail supply chains affect a company’s financial performance and market capitalization. He recently completed projects with Visa International and The World Bank dealing with Financial Flows & Supply Chain Efficiency and Global Logistics Indicators, respectively. A related research project analyzes the benefits of IT-enabled global trade management; TradeBeam Inc. has supported this research. He is currently performing research on “Smart” visibility in supply chains with Professor Hau Lee of Stanford's Graduate School of Business; Lockheed-Martin Corporation supports this research.
