Bruce Chew is an authority on production and operations management at Monitor Company and has served as a member of the Harvard Business School (HBS) faculty since 1985.

Bruce has written articles for various texts and journals, collaborating with HBS professor Kim Clark and Takahiro Fujimoto on “Manufacturing for Design: Beyond the Production—R&D Dichotomy” in Integrating Design and Manufacturing for Competitive Advantage, and on “Product Development in the World Auto Industry” in the Brookings Papers on Economic Activity. Bruce worked again with Dr. Clark and Timothy Bresnahan on “Measurement, Coordination and Learning in Multiplant Networks,” a chapter in Measures in Manufacturing Excellence, edited by HBS professor Robert Kaplan. Bruce is also the author of number of articles for the Harvard Business Review, including “No-Nonsense Guide to Measuring Productivity,” “The Case of the High-Risk Safety Product” and “The Case of the Machinists’ Mutiny.” His “Beating Murphy's Law” was published in the Sloan Management Review.
