Society of Operation Management for Indian Operation Management practitioners & academician has been in existence for last 4 years.
It started through pivotal efforts of Prof. Pankaj Chandra, his colleagues at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad and other likeminded Operation Management professionals who felt the need for a forum for pooling theoretical knowledge & practical experiences of this important management discipline. It culminated into the first Operation Management workshop at IIM -Ahmedabad in December 1997.
Society has since been holding an annual 2 day conference where Academician & practitioners come together and make presentation of their studies, experiences. Tutorials on specific topics are also held for those interested in latest thinking in specific areas. e.g. Last conference in December 2000 a IIT (Chennai) tutorial topics were "Theory of Constraints" and "Heuristics & Optimality search methodologies". These were highly appreciated by the participants. This year's conference will be held from December 21st - 23rd , 2001 at our Institute.
Society is also launching a Journal titled "Asian Journal of Operations Management". To support and broadbase its activities, society needs to expands its membership.
