From the course home page: Course Description This subject is a survey of the fundamental analytic tools, approaches, and techniques which are useful in the design and operation of logistics systems and integrated supply chains. The material is taught from a managerial perspective, with an emphasis on where and how specific tools can be used to improve the overall performance and reduce the total cost of a supply chain. We place a strong emphasis on the development and use of fundamental models to illustrate the underlying concepts involved in both intra and inter-company logistics operations. While our main objective is to develop and use models to help us analyze these situations, we will make heavy use of examples from industry to provide illustrations of the concepts in practice. This is neither a purely theoretical nor a case study course, but rather an analytical course that addresses real problems found in practice. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Engineering-Systems-Division/ESD-260JFall-2006/CourseHome/index.htm Caplice, Christopher Sheffi, Yossi 2007-09-28T12:06:31-04:00 ESD.260J 15.770J 1.260J en-US Civil and Environmental Engineering Logistics and Materials Management dual sourcing portfolio management postponement flexible contracting reverse logistics transportation planning inventory procurement demand planning supply chain management logistics systems Sloan School of Management Engineering Systems Division MIT Open Course Ware http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm As technological integration and construction complexity increase, so does construction lead times. To stay competitive companies have sought to shorten the construction times of new infrastructure by managing construction development efforts effectively by using different project management tools. In this course, three important aspects of construction project management are taught: (1) the theory, methods and quantitative tools used to effectively plan, organize, and control construction projects; (2) efficient management methods revealed through practice and research; (3) hands-on, practical project management knowledge from on-site situations. To achieve this, we will use a basic project management framework in which the project life-cycle is broken into organizing, planning, monitoring, controlling and learning from old and current construction projects. Within the framework, you will learn the methodologies and tools necessary for each aspect of the process as well as the theories upon which these are built. By the end of the term you will be able to adapt and apply the framework to effectively manage a construction project in an Architecture/Engineering/Construction (A/E/C) organization. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Civil-and-Environmental-Engineering/1-040Spring-2007/CourseHome/index.htm Moavenzadeh, Fred Hyun Lee, Sang Labi, Samuel 2007-11-09T01:10:21-05:00 1.040 ESD.018J 1.401J en-US Civil and Environmental Engineering Construction Engineering contract mechanisms resource constraints software tools system dynamics project learning project monitoring and control project planning feasibility and organization project life cycle management methods quantitative tools project management Engineering Systems Division MIT Open Course Ware http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm This course is a detailed technical and historical exploration of the Apollo project to "fly humans to the moon and return them safely to earth" as an example of a complex engineering system. Emphasis is on how the systems worked, the technical and social processes that produced them, mission operations, and historical significance. Guest lectures are featured by MIT-affiliated engineers who contributed to and participated in the Apollo missions. Students work in teams on a final project analyzing an aspect of the historical project to articulate and synthesize ideas in engineering systems. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Science--Technology--and-Society/STS-471JSpring-2007/CourseHome/index.htm Mindell, David Young, Laurence 2007-11-01T12:54:45-04:00 STS.471J ESD.30J 16.895J en-US Aeronautics and Astronautics Aerospace, Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering mission to Mars space science lunar science man on the moon space craft design NASA Kennedy 1960s politics Soviet space program Soviets space program Apollo program astronauts LEM LM lunar module lunar landing space exploration Science, Technology, and Society Engineering Systems Division MIT Open Course Ware http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

Students will enhance their model-building skills, through review and extension of functions of random variables, Poisson processes, and Markov processes; move from applied probability to statistics via Chi-squared t and f tests, derived as functions of random variables; and review classical statistics, hypothesis tests, regression, correlation and causation, simple data mining techniques, and Bayesian vs. classical statistics.
