INSE6300 Supply Chain Management (Fall 2018)
Instructor: Jia Yuan Yu.
Lectures: Fridays, 17:45--20:15, room FG B050.
Office hours: Fridays, 15:45--17:45 in room EV7.635.
Course description: The course is a continuation of Supply Chain Design. We focus on quality-of-service and performance guarantees in the context of data-driven decision-making problems in supply chains.

Projects
Describe an application of supply chain methods to solve a new problem (e.g., using dataset found on the Internet, from open-data initiatives, government agencies, etc.). Here, you will motivate the problem, model it, propose a solution approach, and analyse this solution.
You will have to produce a concise report (neither too short nor too long), and give a presentation on it.
