Abstract

Operations Management has a much longer history than our sister functions in business: finance, marketing, accounting, etc. Yet, we still struggle with fewer majoring students, fewer and newer journals, less academic respect, greater student fear, and fewer professors. Yet, most of the physical and human assets in real‐world organizations are still in the operations function and most of the excitement in industry lies in the operations area: TQM, JIT, supply chain management, ERP, mass customization, and so on. This paper will address some hopes for our future regarding practice, teaching, and research.
