POMS Mission Statement Review

POMS Community,

Join the conversation and help the POMS board consider our mission and strategy. The POMS board has been examining our mission statement. It currently reads:

Production and Operations Management Society (POMS) is an international professional organization representing the interests of POM professionals from around the world. The purposes of the Society are:

• to extend and integrate knowledge that contributes to the improved understanding and practice of production and operations management (POM);
• to disseminate information on POM to managers, scientists, educators, students, public and private organizations, national and local governments, and the general public; and
• to promote the improvement of POM and its teaching in public and private manufacturing and service organizations throughout the world.
