SYS 6581-600 Modeling and Management of Supply Chains
Class number: 12331
Instructor: Robert Riggs
online asynchronous
This course introduces students to the historic and modern methods and techniques for modeling and managing supply chain and logistics systems. The course covers both the managerial and technical side of supply chain management. Topics covered in this course include (but are not limited to) forecasting, inventory control/management, transportation systems, the bullwhip effect, risk analytics, and contemporary supply chain best practices.
SYS 6582-600 Intro to Lean Enterprise and Six Sigma
Class number: 10559
Instructor: Robert Riggs
online asynchronous
This course covers an introduction to Lean enterprise and Six Sigma and will introduce students to various process improvement tools and techniques. These tools/techniques include (but are not limited to) DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control), value stream mapping, process mapping, gage R&R, data analysis, multivari-analysis, design of experiments, statistical process control, and process capability analysis. Through this course, students will gain enough proficiency to apply these tools, techniques, and methodologies to real-world situations. Upon completion of the course, students will be prepared for a Green Belt Six Sigma certification exam.
Civil Engineering Courses
