| Syllabus: | 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 supply chain management: basic theory pertaining to reverse logistics is discussed and a framework is constructed from the concepts and issues generated. Quantitative models for reverse logistics decision-making processes are developed and optimisation techniques are studied. Topics covered include product return forecasting and handling, reuse of returned products and packaging, and lot sizing decisions. Mixed integer linear programming formulations are explored for optimal reverse logistics network design. |
