Bylaws for the College of Human Behavior in Operations Management of the Production and Operations Management Society Current version: May 22, 2008 ARTICLE I – NAME The name of this organization shall be The College of Human Behavior in Operations Management, hereinafter a College of the Production and Operations Management Society. ARTICLE II – PURPOSE AND MISSION STATEMENT The College of Human Behavior in Operations Management aims to create a community of researchers, educators and practitioners who deal with study of human behavior issues to make POM more effective. This effort will lead to a focus on the study of interfaces and interactions of POM with other disciplines primarily with Organizational Behavior, Human Resource Management and Occupational Psychology. These also include the overlap and intersection of various disciplines with respect to logistical and transformation processes for products and services, and the development, deployment and evaluation of human resource policies and practices that support these processes. Specifically, the College will focus on the interaction between individuals, work groups, technology and work place environments. The College of Human Behavior in Operations Management aspires to be actively involved in organizing dedicated sessions at the annual POMS conferences. The college will seek to engage academics and practitioners from around the world on topics relating to human resource and behavioral issues in production and operations management. By applying new insights, concepts and methodologies and using the Web to foster rich conversations within the community, the college will identify new and relevant managerial issues and areas for research. ARTICLE III – MEMBERSHIP 1) Membership in the Production and Operation Management Society is required before enrolling as a member of a College. Membership in one college is free for Society members. Membership in more than one College is granted by paying the associated dues. 2) All members have equal rights, duties, and privileges (with the exception of elected or appointed officers who have additional duties). 3) If College membership is below 10 for an entire calendar year, then the Production and Operations Management Board will review its status and consider its dissolution. ARTICLE IV – OFFICERS 1) College officers and their duties are • President: presides at meetings, represents College in external affairs, and provides direction to the activities of the College and its officers. • Past President: president in the prior year provides advice and suggestions to the current president. • Vice President: assumes duties of the absent president and administers various activities that may include organizing a College conference, organizing the track of papers for the College in the Production and Operations Management Society annual conference, cultural and social activities.

This event is a collaboration between CHOM and the Northwestern University Program for Value and Innovation in Healthcare Delivery (NUVIHD) of the Northwestern Memorial Hospital.

This conference aims to facilitate the growing needs of healthcare researchers and practitioners to better connect with each other. The challenges facing healthcare necessitates active exchange of ideas between all concerned, in order to develop solutions that are innovative, practical and sustainable.

This conference provides a venue for discussion between those working within healthcare and those researching healthcare problems. The conference will bring physicians, nurses, and hospital administrators together with operations management researchers to share what works, what doesn’t and why, and which areas need greater attention. Specifically, this conference will provide presentations from practitioners discussing how operations management helps healthcare. Additionally, the conference will provide a forum for roundtable discussions between practitioners and researchers to explore new areas of research and interest. Finally, the conference will include a tour of a hospital and a chance for a poster presentation. This one day conference is meant to complement the POMS annual meeting as it gives attendees a chance to listen to practitioners and allows time for brainstorming new research ideas.

Registration fees for the conference are $90 for non-students and $45 for students. Detailed agenda and further information will be coming shortly. We will follow first-come-first-serve for participation in the conference and the round table discussion. So look out for future announcements!
