Research project – Operations Management

Research project – Operations Management
The goal of the project is to apply modern operations management research to an organization in the industry. You will need to first select an organization and then analyze an Operations or Supply Chain process. You will then propose improvements using advanced OM techniques found in the literature. The organization could be from the service or manufacturing industry, and either public or private.
It is not relevant if the company is small or large but it’s rather critical to have access to information describing the processes involved in the key decision.
