Centre for Operations Excellence Summer Internship Cluster 2011

The Summer Internship Cluster project organized through the Centre for Operations Excellence at UBC is a

cluster of nine Operations Research sub-projects done for a number of different clients. These projects form the

centerpiece of the Master of Management in Operations Research at UBC and are the key link in the three part

mission of the COE.

i) Education: to provide outstanding masters level and professional training in Operations Research to ten

student interns, each leading a team on one sub-project,

ii) Research: to use mathematical Operations Research techniques to solve challenging problems in

industry and to use these to generate an informed research agenda within the Sauder School of

Business at UBC, and

iii) Outreach Value: to provide significant value to partners through creative solutions to problems.

The summer 2011 cluster will again include a variety of challenges in a variety of settings including shift

scheduling, resource planning, R&D project management, patient flow planning, health treatment planning,

logistics optimization and location…
