# Manufacturing & Service Operations Management Workflow (msom-workflow)

## Overview

This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill; it tells you **which msom-* skill to use right now** for your M&SOM manuscript.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as M&SOM — the premier operations-management journal, published by INFORMS and sponsored by the MSOM Society, founded 1999 and published quarterly. M&SOM covers the **design, procurement, production, delivery, and recovery of goods and services**. The non-negotiable gate: an **operations decision or problem must be central to the contribution**, executed at top-tier rigor — whether the work is **analytical/stochastic** (optimization, queueing, stochastic models, game theory, revenue management) or **empirical OM / data-driven analytics**. A strong analytics, marketing, or finance-flavored paper is routinely desk-screened if the OM core is not the primary contribution. Submissions are routed by author-chosen **Department** (six of them) and two preferred Department Editors, so "fit" means matching the right department, not a generalist pool.

> Editorial team: Georgia Perakis (MIT Sloan) is listed as Editor-in-Chief on the 2026-06-20 M&SOM home and editorial-board pages; INFORMS announced that her final term expires 31 December 2026 and that the search committee aims to propose a successor by 1 July 2026. The M&SOM home page lists 2024 Impact Factor 4.2 and five-year Impact Factor 6.6. Check the masthead and editorial-board page before relying on current editor names.

## When to trigger

- "What should I do next?" with a half-built M&SOM manuscript
- You have a model or dataset but the operations decision is not yet the centerpiece
