    BUSSCM 1750 - REVENUE MANAGEMENT


    Minimum Credits: 3
    Maximum Credits: 3
    Increasingly, due to shortening product life cycles and capital-intensive capacity decisions, companies are being forced to place greater emphasis on managing constrained, but perishable inventory and capacity. Examples include the transportation industry (encompassing airlines, shipping, car rentals, and trucking), the hotel industry, the entertainment and sporting industry, and the retail industry. The underlying managerial issue is complex, but improved decision making can increase a company’s revenues and profits. In this course, we study quantity and pricing strategies to improve profitability and the course uses microeconomics, operations research, segmentation, and pricing and forecasting concepts that the students would have learned in their economics, quantitative methods, operations, and marketing classes. The methodologies covered in the course include deterministic and stochastic optimization, forecasting, and statistical estimation. Students are also exposed to commercial revenue management software.

    BUSSCM 1760 - DATA MINING

    Maximum Credits: 3
    Data mining is the process of extracting useful information and knowledge from a set of data. Mining is typically done on data sets too large to be analyzed by hand, but the same techniques are applicable to small, complex data. This course is an introduction to the most popular methods used in managerial data mining, and provides experience in using commercial software to explore real data sets. Models considered include those from statistics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, such as discriminate analysis, logistic regression, clustering, neural nets, tree/rule induction, and association rule modeling. This course is methods-oriented, as opposed to being methodology-oriented, so students learn about when and how to use techniques and how to interpret their output rather than the details about how those techniques work. A laptop computer is required.

    BUSSCM 1765 - FORECASTING


    Minimum Credits: 3
    Maximum Credits: 3
    This is a short course in forecasting methodologies and their applications in business. This course covers traditional forecasting methodologies along with an overview of the state-of-the-art of forecasting with methodologies ranging from judgmental to statistical knowledge sources. Forecasting should not be confused with planning. The former is about what the future will be, while the latter deals with what the future should be. Most statistical packages (e.g. statgraphics, SPSS, SAS) have some modules to do forecasting, but the user needs to know the principles of the models to use them. Dedicated forecasting packages provide some advice to the user about the forecasting method they should use (e.g. forecastx, forecast pro). This course focuses on forecasting methodologies using statistical knowledge. By the end of the course students should know how to collect data and analyze them with a suitable computer program, and ultimately generate forecasts by selecting and fitting an appropriate model. We will also discuss some of the managerial issues surrounding the use of forecasting models in business. The student selects an area of interest (e.g. finance, marketing, operations, accounting, general planning) within which he/she would like to apply and some of the forecasting methodologies we study, and develop a forecasting model.

The application includes queuing, capacity planning, factory operation, corporate financial planning, bidding, and market share. We use special-purpose simulation language and spreadsheet add-in software as the principal means to illustrate simulation models and computational issues. Through considerable hands-on experience-based learning, students learn practical decision-making and problem-solving techniques by example.

    BUSSCM 1780 - SIX SIGMA


    Minimum Credits: 3
    Maximum Credits: 3
    Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach to process improvement aimed at the near-elimination of defects from every product, process, and transaction. Six Sigma utilizes the following five-phase problem-solving methodology known by the acronym DMAIC: 1. Define the projects, the goals, and the deliverables to customers (internal and external). Describe and quantify both the defect and the expected improvement. 2. Measure the current performance of the process. Validate data to make sure it is credible and set the baseline. 3. Analyze and determine the root cause(s) of the defects. Narrow the causal factors to the vital few. 4. Improve the process to eliminate defects. Optimize the vital few and their interrelationships. 5. Control the performance of the process. Lock down the gains. BUSSCM 1780 six sigma is designed to provide the student not only with strong theoretical knowledge of the Six Sigma green belt body of knowledge, but also with practical, hands-on, experience-based learning through the application of Six Sigma tools and techniques via in-class labs.
