Cases in operations research and operations management which illustrate problem definition and use of various management science techniques in practice. A capstone course for MSCI majors.
Course Description:The aim of this case based course is to give students the experience of dealing with messy ill-defined problem situations, rather than the more structured problems covered in other MSCI papers, which lend themselves to one class of solution technique. The case studies draw on material and models covered in MSCI102, MSCI112, MSCI210, MSCI215 and MSCI221. The course includes: project scoping, developing a project proposal, design of data collection, selection of modelling technique; some quantitative analysis using where appropriate: spreadsheets, a linear programming package and a statistical package; report writing, development of recommendations to bring about improvements, implementation issues. The classes are interactive. Students must be prepared to discuss, and sometimes present, aspects of the cases in class, and to work in small groups when required.Relationship to Other Courses:This course is a capstone course recommended for students majoring in Management Science. It integrates material covered in operations research and operations management taught under the MSCI subject code. It is extremely useful for students intending to continue their studies to Honours-400 level. Its workload in terms of class preparation, review, assignments, readings, and test preparation is about 10 hours per week.
