Description :This is an advanced course focusing on several topics in logistics network design with a systems approach. The emphasis is on mathematical modelling, analysis and ecient solution methodologies. The rst half of the class will include lectures, however, you are expected to come to the class prepared by reading and familiarizing yourself with the topic. In the second half of the class you will present papers that will be chosen upfront. For this purpose, you should utilize the \Topics and Some Literature" handout and identify 3 di erent topics each including 2 papers due the fourth week of classes. The handout, although extensive, provides you a starting point and means to dig into the literature. We will select from the collective set of topics and organize timing and content of your presentations for the second half of the semester. You will also write a detailed report for your presentations including the survey you will do to identify the topics.
Course Topics
- Uncapacitated Facilities Location-Allocation Problems,
- Capacitated Facilities Location-Allocation Problems,
- Production/Distribution System Design,
- Multi-commodity Flow Network Design,
- Hub-and-Spoke Network Design Problems,
- Vehicle Routing Problems,
- Integrated Location-Routing Problems,
- Continuous Logistics Models, and
- Uncapacitated/Capacitated Lot Sizing.
- Commonly used solution methods include Branch-and-Cut Methods, Column Generation Methods, Benders Decomposition, Lagrangian Relaxation, Dual-based Methods, and Heuristic Techniques.
