Dooley studied at the University of Illinois, where he received his BS in Industrial Engineering in 1982, his MS in Industrial Engineering in 1984, and his PhD in Mechanical Engineering in 1987 for the thesis "A fault classification system for quality and productivity improvements in continuous processes" [1] under supervision of Shiv G. Kapoor. [2]

Dooley started his academic career at the University of Minnesota in 1987 as Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, and from 1992 to 1997 he was an Associate Professor and also Director of the Industrial Engineering Program. In 1997 he became Professor of Management and Professor of Industrial Engineering at Arizona State University and since 2003 has been a Professor of Supply Chain Management in the W.P. Carey School of Business. and Senior Sustainability Scientist at the ASU School of Sustainability since 2010. He is co-Director of the Center for the Complex Adaptive Supply Networks Research Accelerator (CASN-RA [3] ), a global group of researchers using complexity science to study supply networks. He has been President and is currently Trustee of the Society for Chaos Theory in Psychology & Life Sciences. [4] In 2022, he won the Distinguished Scholar Award [5] from the Academy of Management's Operations & Supply Chain Management Division.

He was CEO of Crawdad Technologies, which created text analysis software from 2000-2008.

In commerce, supply chain management (SCM) deals with a system of procurement, operations management, logistics and marketing channels so that the raw materials can be converted into a finished product and delivered to the end customer. A more narrow definition of the supply chain management is the "design, planning, execution, control, and monitoring of supply chain activities with the objective of creating net value, building a competitive infrastructure, leveraging worldwide logistics, synchronising supply with demand and measuring performance globally".This can include the movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, finished goods, and end to end order fulfilment from the point of origin to the point of consumption. Interconnected, interrelated or interlinked networks, channels and node businesses combine in the provision of products and services required by end customers in a supply chain.

Materials management is a core supply chain function and includes supply chain planning and supply chain execution capabilities. Specifically, materials management is the capability firms use to plan total material requirements. The material requirements are communicated to procurement and other functions for sourcing. Materials management is also responsible for determining the amount of material to be deployed at each stocking location across the supply chain, establishing material replenishment plans, determining inventory levels to hold for each type of inventory, and communicating information regarding material needs throughout the extended supply chain.
