Excellence in Operations

9th ANNUAL OPERATIONS CASE COMPETITION AT
CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY
NOV 5-6, 2004

MBA students from McCombs win 3rd place in the Carnegie Mellon University Operations Competition

The CMU Operations Case Competition showcases the best MBA students from the top  programs in the world. This competition is by invitation only. This year the competition pitted 17 teams from the top Operations programs in the nation (see list).

McCombs was invited again this year. Through the Management Department, our School selected and sponsored 4 outstanding MBA students to represent us. They were Diego Dyer, Frank Llosa, Alberto VanOordt and Richard Valdez (all of them members of Excellence in Operations).

The team flew to Pittsburgh on November 5th. After receiving the case that evening, they only had 12 hours to prepare and present their recommendations the following morning in front of corporate and faculty judges. Competing against other 16 top schools, the McCombs team went into the final round and won Third Place.

Congratulations to these outstanding students!
