COVID-19 Case Study Competition

The case study must illustrate IEOM tools (Lean Six Sigma, Supply Chain, Logistics, Statistics, Optimization, Simulation, etc.) to address current Covid-19 pandemic. The goal is to develop statistical analysis / optimization of conditions globally and determine if difference exists between countries. In additional model curve and determine time frame to “Flatten Curve” for particular country or region. The case study will allow the participant students to gain awareness, knowledge and critically demonstrate the application of IE & OM tools to resolve complex processes. In particular, participant students will:

Develop an understanding of utilizing a structured methodology to problem solve complex integrated processes
Gain insight into driving critical decision points in problem-solving based on data instead of opinion(s) or emotion(s)
Compare and contrast different solutions and make a suggestion on improvement action(s) with the maximum payoff.
