Course Objectives 1) To optimize the tradeoffs encountered in logistics systems and to develop necessary

analytical methods to establish a minimum cost highest quality of service.2) To have

students to demonsrate the ability to use management science, probability and statistics

knowledge to make long, medium and shortterm decisions regarding logistic system

design, inventory management, warehouse design and operations, facility locations and

freight transport. 3) To teach the ability to analyze and solve the complex logistics decision

problems in a systematic perspective by using mathematical programming, heuristic

algorithms and related computer applications.

Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;

* recognize the logistics system planning problems that require use of analytic

method

* make and assess the related short, medium and long term decisions about the

logistics system planning problems.

* determine decision variables.

* perform Input data analysis to develop a model with a solution technique for the

corresponding problem.

* integrate the model and the related data in the computerized environment to obtain

optimal solution with the interpretation of solutions.

* analyze the solutions to the problem; as a decision maker assess the likely

consequences and the degree of applicability in the real world

Course Content The course includes the fundamentals of the analytical tools available to reduce costs and

improve service levels in logistics systems. Strategic, tactical and operational level

decisions regarding logistics system design, inventory management, warehouse design

and operations, facility location, freight transport planning are studied and modeled using

operations research tools. The essential theory on set covering, traveling salesperson and

vehicle routing problems is studied to provide a sound basis for advanced modeling.

Mathematical programming and heuristic algorithms for solving complex logistics decision

problems are introduced with relevant computer applications.
