Manufacturing Operations Manuscripts Published in the First 52 Issues of POM: Review, Trends, and Opportunities

We review the manuscripts accepted for publication by the Manufacturing Operations Department of Production and Operations Management (POM) over 13 years (1992–2004). The manuscripts managed by this department deal with topics including scheduling, manufacturing systems management, inventory control and capacity management, maintenance management, and teaching and applications. In the process of this review, we highlight the significant contribution of POM to the field of operations management and illustrate how this body of work has served to further the mission of the journal and department. We then offer comments regarding characterizations of these manuscripts and a few ideas on how to expand this body of work in the future to further the mission of the journal.
