- IE 326 Planning for Production and Service Enterprises (Fall 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011)
Examines principles central to the planning of a production process. Topics include forecasting, location analysis, inventory management, supply chain management, push and pull systems, shop scheduling and lean manufacturing. [Sample Syllabus (subject to change)]
- IE 459/514 Revenue Management (Spring 2009, 2010, 2011)
Revenue Management (RM), or Yield Management, is a set of operational tools for generating more revenue with resource allocations and/or dynamic pricing. In this course, we will cover the fundamental concepts of RM, with mathematical models and algorithms, including capacity control, network capacity control, overbooking, dynamic pricing, customer choice modeling, pricing under competition, estimation and forecasting. By the end of this course, students will be able to understand the basic principles of RM, build mathematical models and suggest proper computational solution methods.

- IE 671 Nonlinear Programming (Fall 2009, 2011)
Introduces single and multivariate classical optimization and Kuhn-Tucker theory. Computational methods, including penalty function, barrier function, gradient, are discussed. [Sample Syllabus (subject to change)]
- IE 677 Network Optimization (Fall 2010)
Introduces solutions to graph theory and optimization problems on directed and undirected graphs. Network flow, transportation, assignment, maximum flow, shortest path, and minimum spanning tree problems are discussed. Some nonlinear network problems including traffic assignment are also discussed. [Sample Syllabus (subject to change)]
