OMS FACULTY RESEARCH


The Operations and Management Science faculty are active researchers
who contribute to the state of the art through publishing in leading research journals

such as Management Science, Operations Research, Manufacturing and Services Operations Management, Journal of Applied Probability, Production and Operations Management, Mathematics of Operations Research, and IIE Transactions. All maintain relevance in their research and teaching through such activities as professional consulting and field visits to production facilities.
