My final MBA capstone project used actual data obtained from the plant to analyze the plant’s performance and customer metrics. The goal was to locate opportunities to increase revenue and lower cost. The project helped identify more than a million dollars of potential opportunity, which was one of the main reasons I was promoted to director of Technical Performance.
