MS&E 160/260 is an introduction
to various topics in Production and Operations Management.
The focus is on quantitative
analysis. We use modeling techniques and procedures such as Linear, Integer,
and Dynamic Programming to solve operational problems. We discuss qualitative
issues through case studies and use the learnings
from this class to solve the case studies. We do this to strengthen our
understanding of the problems faced by a production and operations manager.
The topics that are covered in
MS&E 160/260 include:
- optimal
facility location
- production
lot sizing
- capacity
expansion
- inventory
control
- aggregate
production planning
- MRP
- introduction
to Supply Chain Management
A solid understanding of
optimization at the level of MS&E 111 (Introduction to Optimization) and of
probability at the level of MS&E 120 (Probabilistic Analysis) are
prerequisites of this course.
