Empirical research in Operations Management has been repeatedly called for over the last 10-15 years, including calls made from the academic thought leaders in the field as well as by many of the editors of the top academic journals. Remarkably though, most researchers in the field would be pressed to name even three empirical papers published in such journals like Management Science or Operations Research. But, has there really been so little published related to empirical Operations Management (you might be surprised to learn that all five bullets listed above has been addressed by Management Science papers) What types of problems in operations are interesting and worthwhile studying from an empirical viewpoint How can one get started with an empirical research project in Operations Management These are the questions that are at the heart of this course. Specifically, the objective of this course is to (a) expose doctoral students to the existing empirical literature and (b) to provide them with the training required to engage in an empirical study themselves.

3.00 Credits
Staff. Prerequisite(s): STAT510 or 550 or equivalent. This course introduces mathematical models describing and analyzing the behavior of processes that exhibit random components. The theory of stochastic processes will be developed based on elementary probability theory and calculus. Topics include random walks, Poisson processes, Markov chains in discrete and continuous time, renewal theory, and martingales. Applications from the areas of inventory, production, finance, queueing and communication systems will be presented throughout the course.

Staff. Prerequisite(s): OPIM930. Crosslisted with STAT 901. Extension of the material presented in OPIM930 to include Markov decision processes, queuing theory, stochastic modeling and optimization.
-
3.00 Credits
Staff. Prerequisite(s): OPIM 930 or equivalent. Discrete-state stochastic processes: Markov chains, Markov processes, birth-death processes; M/M/I queue and variants; M/G/I queue and G/M/n queues; priority queues: preemptive and non-preemptive; Networks of queues; jackson networks, BMCP networks, Kelly networks; Little's formula; Dynamic optimization of queues.
-
3.00 Credits
Staff. Reviews the theoretical foundations of dynamic programming, stochastic control,and Markov decision processes. Applications in the area of production and inventory, finance, and marketing will be explored. Course requirements include homework, exercises and a research paper.
-
3.00 Credits
Staff. Crosslisted with ESE 620. Concepts, models, and theories relevant to the management of the processes required to provide goods or services to consumers in both the public and private sectors. Includes production, inventory and distribution functions, scheduling of service or manufacturing activities, facility capacity planning and design, location analysis, product design and choice of technology. The methodological basis for the course includes management science, economic theory,organization theory, and management information system theory.
