JOURNAL HISTORY AND BACKGROUND

Journal History and Background

Founding and Mission

The Journal of Production, Operations Management and Economics (JPOME) was established in 2021 by HM Publishers with the mission to create a rigorous, open access, internationally peer-reviewed platform for scholars working at the intersection of production systems, operations management, and applied economics.

The journal was founded in response to growing demand for an accessible, high-quality publication venue that bridges the gap between theoretical frameworks and real-world operational challenges in production environments globally.
