    Abstract: The design parameters of scientific journals are important policy choices for journal editors as well as for the professional areas which they represent. The editorial structure of a journal presents a set of choices which importantly affect the variety of papers which are published, those that are submitted, and to some degree, the nature of future research in an area. These elements, in turn, affect reader satisfaction, journal subscriptions, and the future viability of sponsoring professional societies. This paper presents a conceptual structure for the journal-design problem and a set of survey results which should aid in addressing journal design issues and policy questions. The purpose of the paper is to define the issues and to present data in a manner that will stimulate discussion and further analyses.

    Foreword to the First Issue of Series B

    Abstract: It is well, at this time, on appearance of the first issue of Series B to review the aims of the Institute and suggest the directions that this journal, as presently constituted, is expected to follow. In the Foreword to the first issue of Management Technology the editors Roger R. Crane and C. West Churchman expressed the view that the journal should appeal to managers concerned with “the role that science can play in management.” Science in management is an appropriate complement to the management sciences and we believe, therefore, that integration of Management Science, Management Technology and the Bulletin should be a very effective means for carrying out the aims of the Institute as expressed in its publication policy. A statement made there about material to be included, namely, that “…management discussion of management sciences, such as the nature of business problems which they feel are important and can be attacked by management sciences,” can hopefully be genuinely implemented with the regular appearance of the journal six times a year. Reader comments and discussion is to be encouraged.

    The Demonstration of Statistical Control Problems by an Electronic Analog
    Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) ; 1960

    In: Management Science, Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), Vol. MT-1, No. 1 ( 1960-01), p. 81-85
    Abstract: Modern industrial processes are usually complex and present operators with many problems of control. These arise especially in human monitoring of control systems leading to changes being made by interpretation of instrument readings. Two major management problems arise here (a) to get process operators to recognize that these discrepancies will arise and are of a stochastic nature; and (b) to teach them how to interpret the data they observe quantitatively and how to reach correct decisions thereby. Management Technology, ISSN 0542-4917, was published as a separate journal from 1960 to 1964. In 1965 it was merged into Management Science.

    Abstract: The purpose of this paper is twofold: (1) To review and discuss applications of mathematics to the scheduling of electric power production, which until recently has been subjected only to investigations of a restricted nature. (2) To illustrate, in the context of a particular electric power scheduling example, the point that the choice of techniques applied in problems of management science should be matched to the accuracy of the available input information, and to the practicality of carrying out the chosen technique. Management Technology, ISSN 0542-4917, was published as a separate journal from 1960 to 1964. In 1965 it was merged into Management Science.

    In: Management Science, Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), Vol. MT-3, No. 2 ( 1963-12), p. 145-159
    Abstract: This paper describes a digital simulation model of a hypothetical business system and discusses problems pertinent to the construction and use of the model. Constructed in the course of a management control systems research project, the model exemplifies many problems of control and management of a large system, emphasizing information flow, its control, and its use in decision procedures. The model's modular nature permits a variety of experimental uses. The broad scope of the modeled system posed implementation problems which were resolved by the development of a general simulation capability, called SIMPAC, whose main features are described. Management Technology, ISSN 0542-4917, was published as a separate journal from 1960 to 1964. In 1965 it was merged into Management Science.

    Abstract: The application of inventory control theory to job shop operation has been limited, largely because the made-to-order nature of the product prohibits its accumulation in finished form prior to sale. In this situation it is, in fact, not inventory which must be controlled in order to achieve optimal operation, but rather it is the backlog of orders on hand at any time for production and delivery at some future time which requires management's attention. This paper describes a heuristic system for control of order backlog which was developed for a rather special type of job shop operation. Management Technology, ISSN 0542-4917, was published as a separate journal from 1960 to 1964. In 1965 it was merged into Management Science.

    A Quasi-Analytic Approach to the Business Strategy Problem

    Abstract: Some fifteen years ago the RAND Corporation first attempted to broaden its field of interest to include the policy and strategy formulation in the military establishment. The initial reaction of the responsible officers in the Pentagon was that the nature of the military policy problem was quite different from weapons systems analysis and selection in which RAND specialized and that the tools used in the latter simply did not carry over into the policy area. Techniques and concepts of weapons systems optimization did not apply to the esoteric area of strategic planning. Strategy was an art, not a science, and was going to remain so. Time has proved this reaction to be only partially right. It is true that analysis of strategy requires additional concepts and methodologies which differ in some significant respects from the operations research techniques used in systems analysis. On the other hand, very substantial progress has been made in analytic studies of military strategy formulation. Management Technology, ISSN 0542-4917, was published as a separate journal from 1960 to 1964. In 1965 it was merged into Management Science.

    Abstract: There has been much written about “Scientific Management,” and its value and application to business operations. Advances in technology, particularly in the field of electronic computers, have stimulated changes of a significant nature in how data is obtained and processed in a business organization. With the development of more sophisticated machines to manipulate data rapidly and easily, there have been advances made in techniques to analyze and evaluate the data being processed. Various statistical methods and optimization schemes have become common tools to the scientist, market specialist, and financial analyst. The union of such techniques with electronic computers has resulted in the solution to many problems which heretofore were infeasible, if not impossible. The end result is that, today, management has at its disposal the tools and techniques to obtain and evaluate more data than ever before in the history of business. Data of itself, however, is meaningless. It is the combination of data in its various aspects which makes available to management that which it must have to operate effectively—that is, information. Management Technology, ISSN 0542-4917, was published as a separate journal from 1960 to 1964. In 1965 it was merged into Management Science.

    A Dynamic Model for the Optimal Loading of Linear Multi-Operation Shops
    Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) ; 1964

    Abstract: Because of the stochastic nature of the parameters in the general job shop problem (e.g., estimates of processing times; estimates of delay times; the sequence of operations; the availability of processing units; etc.), Monte Carlo simulation has been the principal tool of analysis. In particular, a large proportion of studies was focused on the indirect control of the functions of scheduling and loading by the device of assigning priorities to the various jobs in the shop. In this paper, we depart from this tradition for two good reasons. First, the linear characteristic of flow eliminates an important disrupting factor present in the general problem treated by the other authors. Second, priority decision rules are perhaps the last sphere of decision open to managers and may have a very limited effect since they are seriously constrained by previously-made decisions. In fact, priority decisions, coming as they do at the “tail” of the decision process, may prove ineffectual in the face of previously-established sales quantities, promised due dates, capacity limitations, etc. Consequently, a study of the “higher echelon” decisions of scheduling and loading is necessitated.

    A Linear Programming Approach to Production and Employment Scheduling

    Abstract: The problem of production and employment scheduling may be stated as follows. Given the monthly demands for the product turned out by a factory, what should be the monthly production rates and work force levels in order to minimize the total cost of regular payroll and overtime, hiring and layoffs, inventory and shortages incurred during a given planning interval of several months? This problem has received a classical solution in two papers by Holt, Modigliani, Muth, and Simon (Holt, C. C., F. Modigliani, H. A. Simon. 1955. A linear decision rule for production and employment scheduling. Management Sci. (October); Holt, C. C., F. Modigliani, J. F. Muth. 1956. Derivation of a linear decision rule for production and employment. Management Sci. (January).). These authors assumed quadratic cost functions. Their treatment of the problem will be referred to as “quadratic programming.” It appears, however, that in the majority of practical applications and theoretical models the cost functions are assumed to be linear. It, therefore, seems desirable to have a method of solution for the linear case as well. In this paper it is shown that a solution can be obtained by linear programming methods. From the linear programming viewpoint, this paper is of an expository nature. Management Technology, ISSN 0542-4917, was published as a separate journal from 1960 to 1964. In 1965 it was merged into Management Science.
