Abstract

Competition for the 2014 Daniel H. Wagner Prize for Excellence in Operations Research Practice provided the six finalist papers featured in this special issue of Interfaces . The prestigious Wagner Prize—awarded for achievement in implemented operations research and advanced analytics—emphasizes quality and originality of mathematical models and clarity of written and oral exposition. Researchers from MIT, Duke University, Cornell University, and the client organization, Ford Motor Company, won the competition for the design and successful implementation of a novel risk-exposure model that more accurately assesses the impact of potential major disruptions originating anywhere in the firm’s supply chain. The remaining finalist papers describe work to improve funding of new-product-development projects, assignment of airline pilots, organization and management of emergency vaccination facilities during a pandemic, reformulation of laundry products, and allocation of deceased-donated livers to transplant patients.
