The Darla Moore School of Business’s Management Science Department has much reason to celebrate this year.
“We’ve recently had two of the biggest milestones in the lifetime of our department this past year,” says Sanjay Ahire, Carolina Trustees Professor and dedicated co-director of the Moore School’s Operations and Supply Chain Center.
The first came in April, when Ahire and his team showcased how their department is shaping the future of operations and supply chain leadership and deservingly secured one of the most coveted global awards in all of management science: the 2024 Global INFORMS UPS Smith Prize for the best teaching in operations research and analytics and data science programs. The department faced stiff competition from the National University of Singapore Master of Science and Business Analytics and the University of Waterloo’s Department of Management Science and Engineering, both of which were also in the running.
