This course surveys operations research models and techniques developed
for a variety of problems arising in logistical planning of
multi-echelon systems. There is a focus on planning models for
production/inventory/distribution strategies in general multi-echelon
multi-item systems. Topics include vehicle routing problems, dynamic lot
sizing inventory models, stochastic and deterministic multi-echelon
inventory systems, the bullwhip effect, pricing models, and integration
problems arising in supply chain management. Probability and linear
programming experience required.
