Freight, Logistics, and Supply Chain Systems: Analysis, Modeling, and Design

3-0-9 units · Graduate

Examines the modeling, analysis, and design of freight transportation, logistics, and supply chain systems through real decision problems drawn from practice and research. Covers problem definition and model formulation; freight demand and data; strategic network, service network, routing, inventory, fulfillment, and resilient system design; and optimization, queueing, simulation, and learning based solution approaches. Emphasizes critical evaluation of modeling assumptions, selection of solution methods, and computational and managerial trade-offs at industrial scale. Includes research-paper discussions, computational recitations, and development and defense of an original research proposal.
