PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Prerequisites: Probability and Statistics at the level of SIEO W3600 or SIEO W4150, and Deterministic Models at the level of IEOR E3608 or IEOR E4004, or instructor permission.
Required course for MSIE. This course provides an introduction to important topics in Production and Operations Management. We introduce quantitative models and solution techniques for a wide variety of production planning and inventory management problems faced by a number of businesses that regularly solve these problems in the face of uncertainties in various critical components such as demand, costs and lead times. We discuss managerial insights from the models to strengthen our understanding of the problems faced by a production and operations manager. This course should appeal to Masters (EMS, IE and OR) and undergraduate students (EMS, IE and OR) in the IEOR department, and students with some quantitative background from the Civil Engineering & Engineering Mechanics department. This course cannot be taken by undergraduates without advisor approval.

THEORY AND METHODS I

This course will be the first part of a two part introduction to theoretical approaches to modern social science and cultural studies in Asian and African contexts. The first course will focus primarily on methodological and theoretical problems in the fields broadly described as historical social sciences – which study historical trends, and political, economic and social institutions and processes. The course will start with discussions regarding the origins of the modern social sciences and the disputes about the nature of social science knowledge. In the next section it will focus on definitions and debates about the concept of modernity. It will go on to analyses of some fundamental concepts used in modern social and historical analyses: concepts of social action, political concepts like state, power, hegemony, democracy, nationalism; economic concepts like the economy, labor, market, capitalism, and related concepts of secularity/secularism, representation, and identity. The teaching will be primarily through close reading of set texts, followed by a discussion. A primary concern of the course will be to think about problems specific to the societies studied by scholars of Asia and Africa: how to use a conceptual language originally stemming from reflection on European modernity in thinking about societies which have quite different historical and cultural characteristics.

INTRO TO ROMANIAN CULTURE

This course addresses the main problems that contribute to the making of Romanian identity, as fragmented or as controversial as it may seem to those who study it. The aim is to become familiar with the deepest patterns of Romanian identity, as we encounter it today, either in history, political studies, fieldwork in sociology or, simply, when we interact with Romanians. By using readings and presentations produced by Romanian specialists, we aim to be able to see the culture with an "insider's eye", as much as we can. This perspective will enable us to develop mechanisms of understanding the Romanian culture and mentality independently, at a more profound level and to reason upon them.

These concepts are analyzed in relation to agency problems: market domination, risk profile, and risk resolution; and market efficiency or the lack thereof. The validity of analytic tools is tested on issues such as highly leveraged transactions, hybrid securities, volatility in initial public offerings, mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, acquisition and control premiums, corporate restructurings, sustainable and unsustainable market inefficiencies, etc.

This course is required for all undergraduate students majoring in IE, OR:EMS, OR:FE and OR. This course discusses how to allocate capital to projects within a firm in order to maximize the value of the firm to its shareholders. We describe how an investment project can be characterized by its cash flow profile, i.e., the amount and timing of costs and benefits of this project in the planning horizon. We show how firms should take into account the cost of capital, budgets, taxes, depreciation, inflation, and uncertainty, in order to decide which projects to undertake, reject, or postpone. This course is a good preparation for positions in investment banking, consulting, private equity, venture capital, corporate finance, and construction management, and for entrepreneurs.

Prerequisites: Refer to course syllabus.
This graduate course is only for MS&E, IE and OR students.  This is also required for students in the Undergraduate Advanced Track. This class is an introduction to the fundamental methods used in deterministic operations research. Topics covered will include linear programming, network flows, dynamic programming, and nonlinear programming. While we shall discuss the underlying theory with some occasional proofs, the emphasis will be on modeling. Applications of these ideas in various settings will be discussed. Students will learn modeling skills, and develop the ability to build, analyze, and reason logically with models. They will also learn to design and analyze algorithms, and to distinguish good algorithms from not-so good ones. They will also appreciate the capabilities and limitations of deterministic models in operations research.

APPR TO MID EAST,SA,AFR STUDY

Since the Enlightenment, philosophers and historians have argued that individual freedom and autonomy depend upon the confinement of religious beliefs and practices to the private sphere. On their view, the spread and entrenchment of institutions of modernity would result in the decline of religion as an active moral and political force. These modern ways of thinking assume that there are discrete entities called religion and the secular; where the latter is conceived as the arena of activities such as politics, economics and science in which religion has no place. This seminar is designed to provide an introduction to theories and methods in the study of politics, religion and the secular in the diverse contexts of the Middle East, South Asia and Africa. We will examine the phenomena of religion and secularism and their place in the modern world through close readings of historical, sociological, philosophical and anthropological that address questions of religion and modernity broadly defined. Our aim will be to develop an understanding of the variety of ways in which the relationship between religion and politics is configured and debated and to complicate our understanding of key concepts such as modernity, progress, freedom, minority rights, toleration, community, politics and ethics. This seminar is both interdisciplinary and comparative and will be helpful to students in Islamic, Middle Eastern, African and South Asian studies.
