Notes for Editors
The Institute of Operations Management (IOM) is the principal UK professional society for operations management in the manufacturing arena, service industries and the public sector. IOM recently became a membership body within The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (UK) bringing UK supply chain professionals together to increase knowledge sharing, learning opportunities and professional excellence. The IOM was established in 1963, originally as two chapters of the then American Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS). From 1975 it functioned as an independent organisation called the British Production and Inventory Control Society (BPICS). It changed its name to The Institute of Operations Management (IOM) in 1996 and joined with The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT(UK) in 2007. In 2009 IOM became the International Associate for APICS in Great Britain.
