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. 

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.
