The Stanford faculty in OR is a little more distinghuished than MIT’s. George Dantzig used to teach there. He was the father of linear programming.

If you look at the winners of the John von Neumann Theory prize, which is awarded annually to a scholar (or scholars in the case of joint work) who has made fundamental, sustained contributions to theory in operations research and the management sciences, Stanford dominates.
