OM Forum—An Essay on Operations Management
open access
Abstract
I have enjoyed the opportunities to identify new problems, implement my ideas and algorithms in practice, work closely with start-ups and mature organizations, and build a software company that created the market for enterprise inventory optimization, while also developing novel solution methods that have adapted and enhanced esoteric mathematics. This invited essay is a playful reflection of creative joy in operations management (OM)—obtained by intertwining theoretical developments with industrial implementations forging a path that consciously forks from received wisdom and conventional methods—while looking ahead to continued delights.
