The Production and Operations Management Society (POMS) created the Sushil K. Gupta POMS Distinguished Service Award at its annual meeting in Chicago, April 20, 2012, to recognize contributions made by those members who substantially contributed to the growth of the Society. The award was named after Dr. Sushil K. Gupta to honor him for his dedicated services to POMS.
At most two awards may be given in any year. The winner(s) will be announced at the awards luncheon of the 33rd Annual POMS Conference in Orlando, Florida, USA. Recipient(s) will receive a plaque, along with a $2,000 honorarium and a lifetime POMS membership.
