Individual skill
pom-writing-style
Use 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 model (pom-theory-development) or design exhibits (pom-tables-figures).

# Writing Style (pom-writing-style)
## When to trigger
- The prose buries the operations problem or the managerial takeaway
- The main document is over the 32-page cap
- Method exposition crowds out the OM insight
- Citations are not in POM's author-year style
## Write for a broad OM audience and for practicing managers
POM reviewers span method specialists and broad operations scholars, and the **practice-relevance gate** means the writing must convince both. Lead with the operations problem, setting, and decision; keep the method visible but **subordinate to the OM insight**. Pair theory and practice throughout: every theoretical claim should imply an operational consequence a manager can act on.
