pom-contribution-framingUse when framing the contribution of a Production and Operations Management (POM) manuscript — stating the managerial insight for practicing operations managers and the advance to OM knowledge, tied to the target Department. Frames the contribution; it does not run the analysis (pom-data-analysis) o
pom-data-analysisUse when executing and reporting the analysis for a Production and Operations Management (POM) manuscript — proving and numerically illustrating an analytical model, or estimating and validating an empirical / behavioral / operations-data-science study. Executes and reports; it does not pick the met
pom-literature-positioningUse when positioning a Production and Operations Management (POM) manuscript within an operations conversation — against the target Department's prior work and adjacent OM journals (M&SOM, Management Science, Operations Research, JOM). Positions the paper; it does not build the model (pom-theory-dev
pom-methodsUse when selecting or auditing the method for a Production and Operations Management (POM) manuscript — analytical modeling (optimization, stochastic models, game theory), empirical identification, behavioral experiments, simulation, or operations data science. Matches method to the operations quest
pom-rebuttalUse when drafting the revision and point-by-point response after a Production and Operations Management (POM) revise-and-resubmit — addressing the Department Editor and referees, splitting changes between the main paper and the e-companion, and respecting the 32-page cap. Drafts the response after r
pom-review-processUse when understanding or planning for Production and Operations Management (POM) review — Department Editor screening, double-blind review, the rigor-and-practice evaluation, and the strict no-resubmission-after-rejection rule. Explains the process and reads decisions; it does not draft the respons
pom-submissionUse when running the pre-submission preflight for a Production and Operations Management (POM) manuscript on ScholarOne — Department Editor routing, 32-page limit, double-blind files, e-companion designation, 350-word abstract, same-data disclosure, and the no-resubmission-after-rejection rule. Pref
pom-tables-figuresUse when designing the exhibits for a Production and Operations Management (POM) manuscript — result tables, comparative-statics and sensitivity plots, model schematics, empirical tables, simulation plots — and deciding what stays in the 32-page main paper vs. the online e-companion. Designs exhibit
pom-theory-developmentUse when building the model or mechanism for a Production and Operations Management (POM) manuscript — formalizing assumptions, deriving equilibria/propositions for analytical work, or developing OM hypotheses for empirical/behavioral work. Builds the argument; it does not run the analysis (pom-data
pom-topic-selectionUse when deciding whether an operations-management project fits Production and Operations Management (POM), which POM Department to route it to, or whether to target M&SOM, Management Science, JOM, or another venue. Sets the question and venue; it does not build the model (pom-theory-development).
pom-workflowUse when deciding which pom-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Production and Operations Management (POM) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills, and it identifies your method track (analytical / empir
pom-writing-styleUse when revising the prose of a Production and Operations Management (POM) manuscript — front-loading the operations problem, balancing theory with practice relevance, applying author-year citations, and enforcing the 32-page cap with an e-companion split. Polishes prose; it does not build the mode
