BALTIMORE, MD, November 12, 2024 – New research in the INFORMS journal Manufacturing & Service Operations Management is guiding the development of more inclusive and efficient electricity markets.

During the holiday season, a late delivery can sometimes feel like the end of the world. You’ve been there: you order a highly anticipated gadget, new clothes, or a last-minute gift, only to find out that your delivery is delayed. While many blame shipping companies or delivery drivers, the true culprit often lies deeper in the supply chain — at the heart of it all: forecasting.
Catastrophic weather events, wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, trade conflicts, global pandemics—the forces disrupting supply chains are multiplying at a rate few could have anticipated.
An audio journey of how data and analytics save lives, save money and solve problems.

[Adam] McElhinney said he thinks Enova's hiring practices and goals are what you'd find at most leading-edge analytics shops. So here are eight things you need to know if you're aiming to pass McElhinney's or his ilk's scrutiny and land a coveted analytics job...
2. Get involved with a professional society. The emphasis here is on involvement. Don't just show up for meetings but become involved in some way -- offer up your web development skills if you have them, or help write a newsletter or volunteer to help plan an event, McElhinney said.
3. Show continued development. McElhinney suggested three ways to make your resume stand out in this respect. One, get an analytics-related certification, be it via an independent organization like INFORMS, platform-specific from a vendor like SAS, or related to a specific domain, like finance, risk, or actuarial science. Two, enter a data analysis competition at Kaggle or the like. You don't have to win, but do be prepared to talk about the experience. Three, participate in open-source software development, maybe creating a package for R, working on a Python data analysis tool, or showcasing projects on GitHub.
