Use when building the analytical model or operational mechanism at the core of a Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM) manuscript — formulating the decision, objective, and uncertainty; deriving structural results; or specifying the operational mechanism behind an empirical hypothesis. Adapts theory work to M&SOM's dominant analytical/stochastic-modeling tradition.

When to use

• building analytical models
• specifying operational mechanisms
• formulating decision variables and objectives
• deriving structural results
• justifying model class
• defining uncertainty primitives
• mapping empirical tests to operations theory

When not to use

• pure economics or marketing models without operational levers
• models with no decision variable
• correlation hunts without operational mechanism
• topic selection
