Each brief is focused on a specific topic—such as supply chain resilience, lean transformation, sustainability, or workforce optimization. Rather than lengthy reports, these are digestible documents that highlight key findings, real-world applications, and recommended actions. They bridge the gap between research and operations, offering timely guidance that professionals can apply in practical settings.

OMI Research Briefs are built around the questions that matter most to operations leaders today. From adapting to global disruptions to integrating technology into workflows, each brief is developed with relevance and urgency in mind. We focus on delivering value quickly—helping professionals stay informed without being overwhelmed.

All briefs are reviewed and curated by OMI’s academic and industry advisors to ensure accuracy, relevance, and neutrality. As the field of operations continues to evolve, our Research Briefs evolve with it—reflecting new standards, technologies, and challenges. They are ideal for learners, managers, and decision-makers who want to stay ahead of the curve.
