Next Week – Macro

We will be working on chap13 and most of chapter 14 this week.

Dont forget your team project due December 4, the writeup. And the update presentation due the last week.

Week after Thanksgiving – Logistics

This week (November 27-December 1) I am going to start by presenting a vehicle routing algorithm and you will get to try it in class. There is a presentation I will post.

Then we will be discussing chapter 11. I will post a presentation on operational integration and we can use that as a starting point. there are only 3 main points I want you to take from this chapter.

We will be omitting chapter 12 altogether.

Next week, December 4 thru December 8, we will move to chapter 13 and 14 with some examples only, no extensive presentation.  On Friday December 8 you will have a case due. Section 1 (0950-1040 class) will do the AML case, and Section 2 (1430-1520 class) will do the Alberta Highway Case. All teams that have not talked will do so in this class.

On Monday December 11 I will present the first part of Chapter 16 slides as my concluding remarks about logistics, (NOT ON THE EXAM) and we will let it go at that. Wednesday December 13 we will have our review of the simuilation outcome. I may ask a couple of teams to talk about their strategy. We also can discuss the exam and I will hand out the take-home part.
