Centre for Operations Excellence Summer Internship Cluster 2012

The Summer Internship Cluster project organized through the Centre for Operations Excellence at the
Sauder School of Business 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 UBC Master of Management in
Operations Research and are the key link in the three-part mission of the COE:
? address and provide solutions to operational challenges facing our partners
? create problem-based learning opportunities for students
? provide an opportunity for faculty to enhance their teaching and research.
The summer 2012 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 planning.
