2013 Billionaire's Challenge

Image
Once again in my BUS 350 Operations Management class, we held the "Billionaire's Challenge." The exercise involved analyzing a production case-study problem using Microsoft Excel's Solver "add in." Students had to first set-up and solve the problem then change key variables using Excel to earn at least one-million dollars profit. After achieving that goal students may compete to make at least $1,000,000,000.  This year saw all previous records in the simulation fall. Congratulations! Our newest Billionaires are: Michael Cummings - $292 Billion Cory Slade - $1.5 Billion AJ Christian - $5 Billion And two "Billion, Billion, Billionaires": Adrianne Johnson - $10 Octillion Morgan Crutcher - $4.9 Decillion Awesome!!!
