Visual Management Implementation at Primetals Technologies

Our project goal was to produce a visual management system for the MMD-2 and VMC-5 machines at Primetals. We defined the relevant key process indicators (KPIs), produced a specification detailing the importance of specific KPIs and relevant data. We produced a visual design which was then modeled using python to make a functioning application. We then performed market research and a business analysis to compare alternative software for Primetals. Our MQP deliverables are: KPI specification of important KPIs, a visual design of a screen, an application mockup, market analysis of alternative software options, and a business analysis of selected companies. After conducting qualitative, quantitative and business analysis we concluded that Predator MDC is the preferred software alternative

Predicting the Price of a Stock

This project investigates the possible short term prediction of stock prices using historical data of the stock and market in general. To this end, we created several models from real data and integrated multiple tools such as autocorrelation, least square linear fit, fourier series, moving averages, correlation with Nasdaq and Dow Jones. The models provided good predictions for over half of the stocks under consideration for ten business days. Further refinements of the model should be considered
