The Centre for Operations Excellence (COE) partners with leading organizations to solve operational problems using operations research (OR) methodologies and produce solutions that lead to enhanced business value.

A COE project combines the enthusiasm of hard-working graduate students with the knowledge and expertise of the Operations and Logistics Division of the Sauder School of Business, UBC. An outstanding project team comprised of students, faculty and staff will work with you to discuss desired outcomes and develop an engagement plan tailored to your needs.

Since its inception in 1998, the COE has published a number of research articles and completed over 100 industry projects with major corporations and organizations in nearly every business sector. Some of these projects have been featured in the national media and have won best practice awards at OR conferences.
