IES376 Logistics and Supply Chain
Management
Prerequisite: None
3(3-0-6)
This course is specifically designed for students to
understand the principles of logistics and supply chain
management. Major topics include logistic planning,
cooperation and management in the supply chain,
transportation, material purchasing and inventory
control, packaging, integration between production
planning and distribution among partners in the chain,
and information systems. The present and future roles
of logistics in the supply chain management are also
discussed.
IES391 Applied Statistical Methods
3(3-0-6)
Prerequisite: Have earned credits of IES302 or consent
of Head of School
This course emphasizes statistical analysis techniques
and their applications. Topics discussed include a review
of hypothesis testing, goodness-of-fit tests, regression
analysis, and analysis of variance. Special attention is
given to their applications in engineering fields.
IES392 Systems Simulation
3(3-0-6)
Prerequisite: Have earned credits of IES302 or consent
of Head of School
This course is a problem-based course on systems
simulation. This course introduces the application of
discrete time simulation modeling for the analysis of
complex manufacturing and service systems, using case
examples in warehousing, material handling, banking,
etc. Applications of continuous time and combined
discrete-continuous simulation modeling will also be
illustrated. Students will gain first-hand practice on how
to use state-of-the-art simulation software through a
series of laboratory exercises or a realistic semester
project.
IES394 Artificial Intelligence in
Industrial Engineering
Prerequisite: None
3(3-0-6)
To provide insight into concepts and techniques of
intelligent systems. Topics covered include search
methodologies, knowledge representation, components
of knowledge-based systems, design of knowledge
bases, and inferencing. Applications of knowledge-based
systems in design of products, processes, systems as
well as machine diagnostics, production planning and
scheduling will also be introduced.
