IE431 Introduction to Optimization Theory
Semester: 2013 Spring
Class Hours: Tue, Thu 10:30 ~ 12:00
Classroom: Industrial Management Building (E2-2) #1120
Objectives &
Outlines
This class introduces various management-innovation strategies and Operations
Research (O.R.) models. For example, some of the field-attractive innovation
strategies including FMS, Outsourcing, Team Approach, Modular Approach,
Packet Processing, M&A, and Data-Base Approach are discussed first. Then, some
major OR models including Mathematical Programming, Inventory, Scheduling,
Networks, Queueing, and Reliability are reviewed on their principles and
applications, for which discussions are made on the important optimization
techniques including Differential method, Simplex method, Gradient method,
Lagrangian relaxation method, Branch-and-bound method, and Combinatorial
optimization, along with several Meta-heuristic methods (Tabu, Genetics
Algorithm, Fibonacci Search, Neural Networks).
