2011 M&SOM Best Paper Award

摘要

It is a great pleasure to announce that the 2011 Manufacturing & Service Operations Management Best Paper Award goes to Jean-Philippe Gayon, Saif Benjaafar, and Francis de Vericourt for "Using Imperfect Advance Demand Information in Production-Inventory Systems with Multiple Customer Classes" (2009). This annual award is given to one paper, published in one of the prior three volumes of M&SOM. Nominees were first appraised by M&SOM associate editors to select a limited set of finalists. The finalists were further reviewed by an ad hoc committee comprised of Baris Ata, Seyed Iravani, Jing-Sheng (Jeannette) Song, and Paul Zipkin. Jing-Sheng (Jeannette) Song, the immediate past president of the MSOM Society, served as chair. This paper was chosen as most deserving for its contribution to the theory and practice of operations management. For their accomplishment, Professors Gayon, Benjaafar, and de Vericourt will share $2,000, generously contributed by the MSOM Society of INFORMS.
