Upon successful completion of the course, the student is expected to be able to build and interpret the
solution of an analytical inventory model that minimizes inventory cost according to organization
objectives, demand information, decision framework, cost structure, product structure and production
capabilities by analyzing the following inventory optimization models using various optimization techniques
including linear and nonlinear programming, dynamic programming and bounding relaxation techniques
for mixed integer programming models:
The course contributes to the delivery of the following student outcomes and performance indicators with
different degrees of emphasis placed on each outcome.
1) An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of
engineering, science, and mathematics
1.1) Identify complex engineering problems
1.2) Formulate complex engineering problems by identifying constraints, variables, and possible
solution methods
1.3) Solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and math
2) An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with
consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social,
environmental, and economic factors
2.1) Extract design specifications
2.2) Select and apply appropriate models, or simulations of the real world and analyze outputs of
models/simulations to provide information for design decisions
2.3) Generate solutions that meet the specifications and satisfy the stated constraints
2.4) Evaluates solutions and identifies the most desirable solution and justifies the choice
4) An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make
informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global,
economic, environmental, and societal contexts
4.1 ) an ability to recognizes ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations
4.2 ) An ability to make informed judgments, considering the impact of engineering solutions in
global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
Student outcomes are achieved through structuring and focusing the course on the
course learning outcomes. The course learning outcomes are attained by the students
when 70% or more of the students (not counting withdrawals) pass the course

There will be weekly homework assignments, on which students are to work alone. Assignments will
be due on the assigned date, at the beginning of the class. A late homework will not be accepted.
The course will be delivered during the following times:
In order to improve the effectiveness of the educational process, all students are expected to submit their
course evaluations by the last day of classes.
Students who fail to complete the evaluation of ALL registered courses by the set deadline:
1. Will not be able to access their course grades from Banner or Portal until two weeks after the end
of the final exams period; and
The anonymity of the process and the students will be maintained at all times.
