Overview

Organizers:

Cindy Barnhart	Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Michael Juenger	Universität zu Köln
David Simchi-Levi	Massachusetts Institute of Technology

From September 9-13, 2002 we will hold a five-day tutorial workshop as an introduction to the IMA thematic year on Optimization and, especially, the fall quarter on Supply Chain and Logistics Optimization. The tutorial will provide an overview of the state of the art in the underlying mathematical disciplines and their application to supply chain and logistics. Topics include linear programming, integer programming, stochastic optimization, combinatorial optimization, and supply chain optimization. Issues addressed include supply chain design, production, inventory and transportation coordination, pricing and yield management, and vehicle routing problems. Hands-on computing experience (using AMPL and ILOG) will be provided to illustrate these methodologies and modeling concepts. Several important applications will be explored, including vehicle routing and scheduling, dynamic pricing, and service parts logistics.
