Past Meetings

Abstract: As well as electing a new committee, receiving the accounts etc, the majority of the meeting will be devoted to discussing the programme for next year.  What events would you like to see?  What are the new subject areas or visits that would attract you to meetings?  Come along and share your ideas and suggestions (or if you can’t make it, send me an e-mail).  Some members will be stopping for a drink and a chat after the meeting. x

The 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games (the Games) were widely seen as a triumph for Public Transport in London. This wasn’t achieved without a large amount of work both prior to and during the Games which ensured Public Transport was not only sufficient within London but that UK wide Public Transport for the Games was coordinated.

This talk will focus on the transport planning and analytics activities undertaken by London Underground prior to and during the Games. There will be a particular emphasis on how the needs of persons with reduced mobility were considered throughout the process.

Andy Shelton, Head of Sports Science at Leicester Tigers, will be outlining how the Tigers have been making use of predictive analytics to improve performance of the team.

"There is tremendous value to be gained by retaining experienced players within the squad and we are confident that, by adopting predictive analytics, our team will be able to leverage data about the physical condition of players for the first time and considerably enhance our performance."

The East Midlands OR Group are pleased to invite you to our first “Networking & Project Showcase event” on 1^st May 2013, in the Foyer of the School of Business and Economics (Richard Morris Building  on the map: http://maps.lboro.ac.uk/), Loughborough University, starting at 5pm until approximately 7.30 pm.  We have 8 participants coming along to present posters on their work on a range of topics from a number of industries, including Workforce scheduling and routing problems, Simulation in NHS, Insightful Thinking, Analytics and Conceptual modelling.

We anticipate that the order of events will be as follows:

• Initial welcome
• Short 2 minute call out from each presenter to raise interest into his/her poster.
• Attendees (as well as the judging committee) will wonder around and look at the posters. You will need to stand close to your poster as some questions may be asked.
• Prizes – the winner and one runner up will be announced approximately at 7pm.

 Light refreshments & drinks will be provided throughout the evening.

 We do hope you can find the time to join us.  To assist us with catering could you please email Gillian Groom (g.groom@soton.ac.uk) to confirm your attendance, no later than Friday 26^th April 2013
