POM is delighted to publish the extended abstracts of the first prize winning and two finalist papers of the 1st POMS Applied Research Challenge (POMS ARC) in 2014. This biannual initiative was launched in October 2012. Its objective is to encourage POMS members—faculty and students—to conduct rigorous applied research that is relevant and innovative. Applied research is understood as academic work that meets the following requirements: 1. The work involves a real operation; 2. The problem is new or not well-solved; 3. The problem requires some innovative ideas to solve it; 4. The paper makes a convincing case of its relevance to practice; and 5. The paper could eventually be published in a journal like POM or similar.
