The course aims at giving the students a solid understanding of mathematical modeling approaches, analytical tools and techniques that are useful in the design and planning of logistics and transportation systems. The topics include logistics network design, facility location and allocation, long- and short-haul transportation, vehicle routing and scheduling problems as well as issues related to sustainable mobility. We will discuss the theory, application methods, and techniques that are needed to successfully model, analyze, and solve these problems. We will develop and employ both exact and approximate methods to solve problems arising in logistics and transportation systems, and implement computerized applications. The course is designed for graduate students who have a solid background in mathematical programming and are proficient in coding.

IE 602 Stochastic Programming 3 Credits
Stochastic programming is one of the fundamental approaches that can be used to model decision-making under uncertainty. It is concerned with the mathematical programming problems, where the uncertain problem parameters are represented by random variables, and it extends deterministic optimization by explicitly accounting for the uncertainty already in the modeling age. This course will provide a broad overview of the main themes and methods of the subject. This course covers various optimization models (chance-constrained optimization, two-stage stochastic programming models, optimization with risk measures, etc.), as well as their mathematical programming-based solution methods and applications to practical problems. Since stochastic programs are computationally challenging, there is a particular emphasis in this course on algorithmic tools (especially, on decomposition-based algorithms) for solving large-scale instances.

In this course, the students will learn the mathematics of discrete optimization including the representation of problems by mathematical models and the solution of these models. In computational complexity part, the concepts of polynomial computation and NP-completeness will be introduced, and equivalence of separation and optimization will be discussed. Then, basic approaches and algorithms for solving discrete optimization problems will be introduced. The branch-and-bound algorithm, the theory of valid inequalities, and the results known for simplest discrete sets that are necessary to understand the cutting planes generated by today’s commercial solvers will be covered. In polyhedral theory, the concepts of facets of polyhedra and the idea of representing the convex hull of a discrete set of points will be covered. Extended formulations and the reformulations that enable decomposition algorithms will be addressed.

IE 640 Behavioral and Experimental Methods in Operations Management 3 Credits
This course aims to introduce the use of behavioral and experimental methods that have been increasingly popular in the field of operations management. In particular we use a supply chain scenario to study how human beings make individual and strategic decisions in the face of uncertainty and risk. First, we use the standard newsvendor problem to discuss decisions involving only a single individual. This problem is concerned with the order quantity decision of a retailer that faces probabilistic demand. Then, we consider a simple manufacturer-retailer supply chain where the retailer faces the newsvendor problem, and her problem parameters are determined by the contract that the manufacturer offers. This scenario allows us to study what happens to decisions when two individuals interact strategically with each other . Course discussion is based on results from decision-making experiments with human subjects. In addition to published research papers, we also use data from experiments conducted at Sabanci University.
