Course summary
This is a graduate level course in production and distribution systems planning. Major
emphasis will be given to the design and management of the supply chain. The topics that
are covered in this course include logistics network configuration, risk pooling and multiechelon inventory systems, value of information in supply chains, coordination of the
supply chain using contracts and other mechanisms, distribution strategies for the supply
chain and product design for supply chain efficiency.
The topics will be covered in two steps. First, the concepts, issues and solution
approaches will be introduced using material which is mostly qualitative. This first step is
aiming to get the student familiar with the main issues in designing and managing the
supply chain and practical innovations attempting to solve them. Lectures will include
real life examples or cases when possible. The second step will focus on recent academic
research in supply chain management. The emphasis will be on analytical modeling of
the supply chain. The analytical models either evaluate the performance of a particular
supply chain configuration or prescribe solutions or solution approaches. This part of the
lecture will be covered using recent papers that appeared in scholarly journals.

Student Responsibilities and Grading
Attendance is mandatory and students who will miss a class should inform the instructor
in advance. Class participation is required and students may need to prepare before the
class. The main responsibility of the student is reading and understanding each academic
paper (see the list of papers that are not underlined below) and presenting one in class.
The students are expected to understand the analytical modeling and derivations without
much help from the instructor, however a short introduction to inventory theory will be
provided in the first 2 weeks of the class.
Paper summary (25%)
Each student need to read each paper that will be discussed in the class and submit a one
page summary prior to the class. The summary should include a description of the
problem/phenomena studied in the paper, specific features that distinguish the paper from
earlier work, a verbal description of the analytical model, main analytical and
computational results and practical insights gained from the study.
Paper presentation (20%)
Each student need to present one paper (see the list of papers that are under required
sections below) in class. The presentation should be about 20-25 minutes which will be
followed by a class discussion.
Research proposal (30%)
Each student is required to study a specific topic of their choice (in supply chain
management, topics related to their thesis is fine as long as the linkages with SCM can be
established) in depth and submit a proposal for researching a specific problem. The
proposal should include a qualitative discussion of why the problem is important, a
detailed literature survey and proposed methodology and modeling tools to be used in the
research. Suggested research could be analytical modeling as well as an empirical study.
Main deliverable is a report describing the proposal; however a presentation may also be
necessary depending on the schedule.
Final (25%)
A written close books and notes exam covering the concepts and research covered in the
class.
