The Tauber Institute brings together graduate students from the Michigan Ross School of Business and Michigan Engineering to gain operations expertise and leadership skills, and work together at sponsoring companies around the world, tackling diverse operations challenges in industries such as aerospace, energy, internet commerce, automotive manufacturing, tech, and healthcare. During their 14-week Tauber team projects, Tauber Institute students can apply cutting-edge operations theory to real-world problems, saving sponsoring companies millions of dollars through increased efficiency and waste reduction, and often simultaneously improving working conditions and reducing environmental impact.
