Course Introduction

This course is to apply the optimization theories to planning, design, operation
and evaluation of complex transportation and logistics systems.
This includes various mathematical models of those systems and solution techniques
for transportation and logistics optimization problems such as supply-chain,
inventory management, facility location, transportation scheduling, and vehicle routing problems.

Course Objective 

1) Understanding of the practical methods for formulating and solving transportation and logistics problems
2) Learning the skills needed to plan, design and evaluate a complex logistics system
3) Practicing some of advanced mathematical optimization techniques based on recent research findings.
