Production and Operations Management Society

The Production and Operations Management Society (POMS) is an international professional society for academics and practitioners with interests in production operations, operations management, and supply chain management. The society was established in 1989 by Prof. Kalyan Singhal, of Merrick School of Business at the University of Baltimore, in collaboration with three hundred professionals from the operations management field.[1]

Since 1990, the POMS society has annually held national conferences focused on academic and practitioner research presentations in the operations management discipline. POMS also sponsors conferences held by its Colleges, joint conferences with the European operations management society EUROMA, and international conferences. The society maintains the website www.pomsmeetings.org as a current and historical repository of information about these conferences.

The current President of POMS is Prof. Chelliah Siskandarajah, who is the Hugh Roy Cullen Chair in Business Administration Information and Operations Management at Mays Business School, Texas A&M University. The President-Elect is Prof. Zuojun (Max) Shen from University of California Berkeley.[2] POMS also is guided by Board Members made up of three Past Presidents, several Vice Presidents (e.g., Education, Finance, Meetings, Member Activities, Colleges, Publications, Communications, Industry, Americas, Africa & Middle East, Europe, and Australasia), a Secretary, and several at-large Board Members. POMS is also led by a Director of Strategic Planning, an Executive Director, Associate Directors (Global Outreach, Information Technology Services), a Web Editor, and a Social Media Coordinator.

The mission of POMS is to create, extend, and disseminate knowledge in the field of production and operations management.
