Wharton OPIM. The mission of the Operations and Information Management Department is to improve the quality and productivity of enterprises by educating highly capable professionals and by discovering, developing, and validating new principles, theory, and methods. Our common approach to education and research is to blend rigor and relevance. We believe in science-based management and our work is built around models. However, we seek to reconcile theory and data, and to influence practice. We are a group of individuals with diverse interests and training; indeed our diversity is central to the intellectual vitality of our community. Nevertheless, several themes characterize the questions of primary concern to most members of the department. How can supply chains be managed to provide the right products at the right time and place for least cost? How can organizations create high-quality and efficient service delivery operations? How can the process of developing goods and services be transformed to deliver better products more efficiently? How do changes in the quality, speed, and frequency of information exchange impact the functions, productivity, and organization of the enterprise? Faculty: The OPIM department faculty is the largest group of scholars of its kind in a major business school. We are a collection of individuals with diverse interests and backgrounds. Most members of the faculty have educational roots in mathematics, economics, science, or engineering. We share a belief that enterprises can perform better if decisions and actions are rooted in sound theory. We address problems that are relevant to practice. We care deeply about the education of undergraduates, MBA students, and doctoral students. Beyond these core values, the wide diversity and scope of our interests are key strengths of our group.
