Im currently a senior at Massachusetts Maritime, and I have not had a position to be in a management role where I was able to utilize any Management Science/Quantitative Methods to approach any assigned projects.   My work experience so far will be best described as applying excel applications in my last internship. Using an A to Z systematic approach I had access to follow the SOP for the corporation which was already perfectly organized.  In my anticipated future employment, I predict that I will see these different types of course methods help me in my daily management activities.  This type of course material arms managers with the ability to use mathematics and statistics in combination with quantitative techniques for most management strategies.  It also arms managers with the ability to use computer models for maximum output at minimum input.  This is the best option to save money and time.  In today's world of management, MSQM is seen at the forefront with its success in forecasting projections for management preplanning.  I believe that I will be utilizing the many shortcuts that MSQM provides in my daily management protocol. Specifically, it will most likely provide avenues to use math based solutions to directly manage the how and when to order certain products.  In addition to this, MSQM is a direct precursor to queuing theory.  In my future realm of management,  I predict that most of the management systems that I will use will already be digitalized to meet predetermined standards.  Information systems and workplace management will have to work in harmony to establish conctrete systematic formulas  and programs with the main objective to organize data.  I believe that as a future manager it will be my duty to make this type of system usable and accessible to all levels and employees within my workforce.  With many of the MSQM systems and programs already intact, it will be the human managers that must be able to determine alternative solutions.  For the future, management will responsible for determining the best alternative solutions for specific need based problems.  Management will have to base their answers to such situations by using MSQM in all aspects to the proper approach and delivery of the computerized  and calibrated solution.
