Journal Title：M&som-manufacturing & Service Operations Management

M&SOM is the INFORMS journal for operations management. The purpose of the journal is to publish high-impact manuscripts that report relevant research on important problems in operations management (OM). The field of OM is the study of the innovative or traditional processes for the design, procurement, production, delivery, and recovery of goods and services. OM research entails the control, planning, design, and improvement of these processes. This research can be prescriptive, descriptive, or predictive; however, the intent of the research is ultimately to develop some form of enduring knowledge that can lead to more efficient or effective processes for the creation and delivery of goods and services.

M&SOM encourages a variety of methodological approaches to OM research; papers may be theoretical or empirical, analytical or computational, and may be based on a range of established research disciplines. M&SOM encourages contributions in OM across the full spectrum of decision making: strategic, tactical, and operational. Furthermore, the journal supports research that examines pertinent issues at the interfaces between OM and other functional areas.

M&SOM 是用于运营管理的 INFORMS 期刊。该杂志的目的是发表高影响力的手稿，报告有关运营管理 (OM) 中重要问题的相关研究。 OM 的领域是研究商品和服务的设计、采购、生产、交付和回收的创新或传统流程。 OM 研究需要对这些过程进行控制、规划、设计和改进。这项研究可以是规定性的、描述性的或预测性的；然而，这项研究的最终目的是开发某种形式的持久知识，这些知识可以为商品和服务的创造和交付带来更高效或有效的流程。

M&SOM 鼓励采用多种方法论方法进行 OM 研究；论文可能是理论的或经验的、分析的或计算的，并且可能基于一系列既定的研究学科。 M&SOM 鼓励在 OM 中对所有决策做出贡献：战略、战术和运营。此外，该期刊还支持对 OM 与其他职能领域之间的接口相关问题进行检查的研究。
