This unit aims to provide an integrated approach to the optimal planning and management of logistics and the supply chain. Time management and scheduling: concepts and issues are discussed and scheduling algorithms and optimisation techniques are studied. Specifically, machine and job-shop scheduling are examined and logistics curves are derived. Global logistics and supply chain networks: explores issues and develops integrated mathematical models in global networks, along with related costing, services and pricing constraints. A study of methods to improve the performance of logistics and supply chain networks is undertaken and optimal solutions are evaluated. Reverse logistics and... -- Course Website
