possible and attempt to bring these subjects into a “real life” context for the
participants. This is done, in
part, by allowing the attendees to discuss their specific operations problems as
well as directly participate in the structured course program. If a specific question raised cannot be
answered immediately, all attempts will be made to have an answer before the end
of the program. If this is not
possible, the question will be researched and a response provided as soon as
practical after the course.
