Business Articles: Operations Management
Perhaps the premier Operations Management supersite is OMC (Operations Management
Center) provided by the Higher Education Division of McGraw-Hill ( www.mhhe.com/opsci ).
This site has a great number of resources for students learning about math skills and
business applications. For example, the BSC (Business Statistics Center) provides a
variety of services through its University Resources from Q and A's on math: "Dr.
Math" and Research Experiences for Undergraduates; to definitions from the
Statistical Glossary.
Articles can be found at: OM Publications - which provide links to online
publications classified as: "General": e.g. The Manufacturing Report or OR/MS
Today; "Inventory Management", "Supply Chain Management", etc. And
under OM Resources the student can find full-text Business Week OM articles, Virtual
Company Tours and other useful resources. The OMC is a very comprehensive site for OM
information and a portal to help lead student researchers to other online assets which
should not be overlooked.
Another site offering comprehensive OM
resources is: Twigg's Operations Management Index. TWIGG's Operations Management
Index is a popular and respected portal ( http://members.tripod.co.uk/tomi) for discovering operations managment
resources on the Internet. It covers the needs of academic, practitioner and student,
providing information on topics such as purchasing, product development, manufacturing
strategy, inventory control, logistics, quality and benchmarking operations. Various
services are offered including: the TOMI Reading Room, OM Journals, Working Papers - Case
Studies, and Research Resources, among others.
The Institute for Operations Research and Management Sciences (INFORMS) is
perhaps one of the most comprehensive OM publications sites on the web ( http://pubsonline.informs.org
) which provides free personal copies of journal material. At least
ten OM organizations and their publications are offered at the site, for example:
The Manufacturing and Service Operations Managment Society (MSOM): www.sie.arizona.edu/msom.
Another comprehensive source is: The
Production and Operations Management Society at: http://www.poms.org
