Centre for Operations Excellence Industry Projects 2015

The Centre for Operations Excellence Industry Projects consists of five sub-projects sponsored by four different industry partners. Each sub-project represents an important challenge for its sponsor. These sub-projects include using analytics to optimize sawmill production for Interfor; production planning for Tree Island; developing text-mining techniques to enable WorkSafeBC to predict and
prevent workplace accidents; using Twitter data to enrich Boeing Canada’s maintenance and operations planning tools; and performing human resources analytics to improve Boeing Canada’s workforce planning.
