Derived from domestic and global competition, firms in many industries seek to create innovative ways to move products from raw materials through the manufacturing process to customers more efficiently and effectively. Such innovation has been facilitated by the development of information technology. The firms redesign their supply chains to collect, process, transmit, share, and use a large amount of information with efficacy. Still others are focusing on cooperative relationships among all the players in the value chain and bypassing unneeded stages. This course examines many of the recent innovations in this area with an emphasis on technologies

Most engineering problems incorporate optimal decision makings, i.e., optimization. In this course, students will learn the importance of efficient formulations of optimization problems and how to model real problems efficiently via convex optimization theory. A large part of this course will be related to mathematical foundation of convex optimization. Also, there will be programming exercises to solve some example engineering problems.

Service systems in transportation, retail, healthcare, entertainment, hospitality, and other areas are configurations of people, information, organizations, and technologies that operate together for specific functions and values. One difficulty in engineering and managing complex service systems is the lack of data required to monitor and improve the system elements. However, with recent advances in sensing technologies, various kinds and massive amounts of data can be collected from the elements of the service system, such as people and physical objects. This advancement contributes to unlocking the limitations of engineering and managing service systems. In this course, we will learn and apply concepts and methods for engineering and management of service systems with various types of data. Through assignments and a term project, the students will develop their own cases of service systems engineering and management.

This course covers the fundamentals of predictive monitoring using business process event logs. Event log are a particular type of data that capture the execution of business processes in organisations. They can be used to build predictive models of aspects of interests about the execution of processes, such as predicting the remaining execution time, the next activity that will be executed, or the outcome of the process (e.g., whether a given service level objective will be satisfied or not). The course covers mainly the design and implementation of business process predictive monitoring models built using machine learning techniques. As such, it focuses on topics such as feature extraction and engineering from event logs and encoding of event log information. In the second part, the course will also discuss techniques for anomaly detection in event logs. This is an emerging topic in the literature that deals with developing methods to automatically clean event logs from anomalies that can be introduced by problems with logging, i.e., system malfunctioning or human resource manual errors. More in detail, after participating into this course, students will:
• Understand event logs and the formats in which they can be available;
