SF2866 Applied Systems engineering,   autumn 2016.

SF2868 Systems engineering, Business and Management, Part 1   autumn 2016.

I describe below the material that is included in the course.

Modeling and Simulation

ORMS chapter 12 (except 12.3)
IOR Chapter 20-20.2,20.5

Airline Optimization

ORMS Chapter 20.1-2

Inventory theory

ORMS chapter 10-10.3.1 and 10.4-10.5.2
IOR Chapter 18 describes several of these models too. 18.2-18.3 basic EOQ, 18.5 serial two-echelon model, and 18.6

Supply Chain Management

ORMS chapter 22.1, 22.2.2 and 22.4-22.6.

Process Control

The material on scheduling in ORMS is rather brief. The relevant parts are ORMS Chapter 18.4-18.4.3 (not more than two machines).

For further reading, here are links to some other material I used.
The slides by Ron Lembke were used for the examples in class: Scheduling slides
I based the presentation and the proofs on the book "Scheduling.Theory,.Algorithms,.and.Systems.(2008)" by Michael Pinedo, Chapters 3.1-3.3.
Another book on scheduling is "Algorithm for Sequencing and Scheduling", Draft text book by Ibrahim Alharkan, 2010. Relevant is One machine problems Chapter 2.3,2.4,2.8, (2.12), and Two machine problem Chapter 4-4.2 describes flow shops and Johnson's algorithm.
