COLLOQUIUM,
INVITED Steven E. Butt, Ph.D., Associate Professor,
SPEAKER: Department of
Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering,
TITLE: Experiences
in Operations Research
Abstract:
Operations Research (OR) has enhanced organizations and
experiences all around us, from better scheduling of transportation and
workforces, to the design of waiting lines at theme parks. This presentation will discuss several
interesting applications of OR from recent work on international, national and
local projects. Projects include work
with government agencies, airlines, lifeboat designers, hospitals, recruiters,
furniture designers, and more.
Hopefully, this presentation will peak the interest of those individuals
that like to solve problems using mathematics, statistics, and computers to
consider an exciting career in OR.
