Introduction:
This comprehensive course presents a complete and balanced treatment of distribution logistics by covering both applications and the required theoretical background, therefore extending its reach to practitioners and students in a range of disciplines such as management, engineering, mathematics, and statistics. It serves as a useful reference for practitioners in the fields of applied mathematics and statistics, manufacturing engineering, business management, and operations research.
On completion of this course you should be able to:
- Deal with the quantitative approaches needed to handle real-life management problems.
- Identify the limitations and scope of applicability of the proposed quantitative tools.
- Discuss many issues on probability and statistics as well as mathematical programming
- Gain a broad understanding on Network design and transportation, and Demand forecasting
- Examines inventory control in single- and multi-echelon systems, and Incentives in the supply chain
- Identify Network routing problems and develop solution methods for symmetric TSP.
