Under the independent study the students are required to conduct an independent study on an Operations Management topic. Students are required to conduct the research study under the supervision of a lecturer of the department. Students are expected to carry out a professional research project by using the methods and technologies learned in DSC 3344 - Research Methods for Operations Management and are expected to submit a report at the end of the semester.
- Lecturer: Prof. Saman Yapa
Under the project, students are required to analyse an operations management problem in an organisation and to provide a solution for the selected problem. Students are required to conduct the project under the dual supervision of a lecturer of the department and a practicing operations manager from the selected organisation. This project helps students to put knowledge and skill acquired so far into practice and to apply the techniques in a practical setting so that they gain much needed practical exposure. Students are expected to submit a report at the end of the semester.
