Provisional — capstone artifacts and credential being verified

The situation

A capstone in MITx's Supply Chain Management program: an optimization model for a supply-chain problem, where clean mathematics meets messy operating conditions.

People in the picture

  • Supply-chain decision-makers

What I did

I formulated and solved the model and wrote it up. The model itself, the method choices and the results chart will be added from the original submission.

  • Optimization modelling
  • Supply-chain analytics

Results

Not claimed yet. Results appear here only once they are documented — until then, this page shows what was designed, built or proposed.

Limits and honest caveats

  • Credential wording is shown only after it is checked against the official record.
