Operations Analytics Capstone

Catalog description

This capstone provides students with the opportunity to solve real-world operations analytics problems. Students will apply the learnings from their prior coursework in the Operations Management / Management Science track to solve problems shared by companies including Amazon, Formlabs, Google, and Intel. Anonymized problems from a cloud computing company, consumer packaged goods company, and food supplier will also be covered in the course. The capstone is designed to provide theoretical and practical skills for students looking to hone their data processing and analytical problem-solving skills. The kinds of analysis we will conduct in this capstone are consistent with the work conducted by first-year consultants. These consultants could be employed by traditional management-consulting firms or they could be hired into internal analytical roles or leadership development programs at companies.
