ENGINEERING SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT FOR LOGISTICS

ISYE 620

Introduction to simulation modeling and analysis techniques with application to production, logistics, service, and other systems. Emphasis on model building, application of basic statistical data analysis, and the use of simulation for design, evaluation, and improvement of such systems. Introduction to available software. Case studies.

ISYE 645

Provides an overview of engineering fundamentals behind supply chains. Topics covered will include modeling and design of multi-stage production distribution systems, multi-echelon inventory models, theory of supply chain contracts, value of flexibility and information sharing in supply chains.

EPD 678

Examines concepts, management techniques, and current trends in the field of supply chain management with emphasis on topics relevant to engineers. Topics include global logistics, logistics engineering techniques, new product introduction process, purchasing strategy, managing transportation providers, distribution center technology and operations, outsourcing supply chain functions, and an introduction to supply chain information systems.

ISYE 625

Practical methods for the planning, design and evaluation of complex logistics and distribution systems. Modeling techniques and solution approaches that reduce cumbersome details of logistics systems into models with a manageable number of parameters and decision variables. It shows how the solutions to these models are interpreted into optimal rules that guide the operation, design or planning process.
