An agenda for operations management (OM) research was first proposed by Miller et al. in 1981. However, until Hill et al. examined recent Ph.D. dissertations in 1987, no other work on the agenda had been done. We take another look at the status of the OM research ...

This case study is conducted within the context of the Theory of Constraints. The field research reported in this document contains information specific to the telecommunications industry. An examination of the history, organization design, problems and solutions for one telecommunications company are undertaken from the perspective of academic work in the Theory of Constraints. The information included in this document was developed through interviews with four senior managers including the President, the Chief Technology Officer, a Vice President and a department manager. Their responses were the basis of identifying problems and undesirable effects. The undesirable effects were diagramed in six UDE clouds dealing with the following issues: 1- unclear vision from management to employees; 2- supplier; 3- market; 4- the price and regulation environment; 5- production; and 6- bureaucracy. These undesirable effects were logically examined until a single cloud depicting the core confli...

Research Highlights
Balancing speed and accuracy in power grid operations models.
Researchers have developed the Grid Operations (GO) model, a new open-source tool to optimize the balance between speed and accuracy in energy system modeling. This innovation allows for faster simulations without significant loss of detail, facilitating the exploration of various scenarios under changing weather conditions or energy policies. GO's adaptability makes it accessible for broad use, and it has proven capable of managing the complexities of large-scale power systems like those in the United States.
Our team has developed an open-source tool that simulates the impact of unpredictable weather on power systems, enabling cost-effective electricity operations simulation without high-end computing resources. This innovation allows rapid, accurate testing, crucial for adapting to various climate scenarios. It's a significant advance in energy research, offering insights into maintaining power stability during extreme weather. The tool's broader implications extend to environmental science, economics, and policymaking, serving as a 'telescope' into the future of energy resilience.
Recent research has unveiled the Grid Operations (GO) framework, an innovative open-source tool optimized for balancing speed and accuracy in production cost models (PCMs) for power system management. GO is adept at integrating uncertainty and sensitivity analyses concerning weather and climate into power system operational studies, offering customizable features for model refinement based on computational constraints. Key insights reveal that streamlined PCMs employing linear programming and simplified networks can effectively estimate locational marginal prices (LMPs) and generation patterns, paving the way for comprehensive stochastic simulations. The study underscores the nuanced interplay between transmission scaling and network simplification during model calibration. It also highlights the impact of data selection and the extent of uncertainty analysis on PCM version selection, given computational limitations. The GO framework is tailored for use across U.S. power interconnections, with a case study in the Western U.S. illustrating its proficiency in conducting large-scale simulations that assess operational risks from climate and weather fluctuations, without compromising on model precision. As an open-source resource, GO empowers ongoing research into renewable energy integration and power system resilience.

This article reviews the case study research in the operations management field. In this regard, the paper's key objective is to represent a general framework to design, develop, and conduct case study research for a future operations management research by critically reviewing relevant literature and offering insights into the use of case method in particular settings.
Abstract. Recently, there have been numerous calls for more empirical field-based research to be conducted in operations management (OM). Knowledge of how operations systems work can be enhanced significantly through contact with the "real-world" conditions that OM models seek to describe. Case study research is a primary means of exploring ...
Case study research is a primary means of exploring field conditions but is an unfamiliar methodology for many in OM. Moreover, the case study method is viewed with scepticism by those who consider it to be a weak form of research, one that lacks rigor and objectivity. Here, we offer an introduction to the case study method for OM researchers ...
A five step case-based research and dissemination process is presented. Guidance is given to future researchers for each step in the process. In addition, areas of weakness are examined and discussed in detail. Future potential research questions in operations management considered to be appropriate for the case-based method are highlighted.
