msom-methods

separate

Use when matching the method and identification to the operations problem for a Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM) manuscript — selecting the analytical model class and solution approach, or the empirical identification strategy. Designs the study; msom-data-analysis executes and reports it.

When to use

• selecting analytical model class
• selecting solution approach
• selecting empirical identification strategy
• matching method to operations decision
• designing M&SOM study
• justifying method class by operational decision
• planning numerical study for analytical models
• addressing endogenous operational choices in empirical studies

When not to use

• executing and reporting the study
• analytical queueing work
• optimization work
• method-first theory for Operations Research
• broader OR/MS reach for Management Science
• wider OM readership for Production and Operations Management
