Theoretical background of descriptive, predictive and prescriptive analytics methods and their applications to engineering. Various artificial intelligence techniques for data mining and expert system design and implementation. Computing foundations for data management and data analytics. Applications to Production Planning and Control and Inventory Management. Cross-listed with IME 568.

This course reviews the principles and concepts required for integrated production System in order to meet customer demand in production, quality, on-time delivery, and continuously reducing manufacturing cost. Emphasis is placed on applying lean manufacturing principles, simulation techniques, and Kaizen methodologies through hands-on projects. Cross listed as IME 581.

Mathematical model building and use of deterministic and non-deterministic tools in problem solving. Problem solving structure, linear programming, transportation and assignment algorithms, game theory, networks, branch and bound algorithms, dynamic programming, deterministic and stochastic inventory models, markov chains, queueing theory and simulation.
