- Exam 2 will be on
Thursday at 5:20 PM. Format will be
similar to the first exam - closed-book/notes,
but I will permit a crib-sheet (one side
of one 8.5 by 11 inch, hand-written sheet
of paper) that you will turn in with
your exam. The exam will cover everything
seen in class after the first exam.

Pitt's
Center for Supply Chain Management will hold
its annual
symposium on
Friday, Nov. 8. This is an event that
you should definitely mark on your calendar
- the program is still being finalized but
we usually have excellent speakers and there
are many networking opportunities. The
registration fee is only $25 for student,
and it's free if you present a poster
(the deadline to submit a title and abstract
is October 28). Plus, there is prize
money
involved with the posters, and based
on what I have seen in the past as one of
the judges, you have a pretty good shot at
winning something if you put together a
decent poster! I can help too.

Do
consider attending.

cover everything we have covered in class up
to last week's lecture (supply chain intro,
forecasting, aggregate planning, newsboy
model and deterministic inventory
models). You are responsible for all
materials that I covered in class or
that was on your homework assignments.
The exam will be closed-book/notes, but I
will permit a crib-sheet (one side of one
8.5 by 11 inch, hand-written sheet
of paper) that you will turn in with
your exam.

- I will update
this page any time I have an announcement that
I would like to make, or when I have a
document for you to download off the web -
typically, these will be homework assignments
and their solutions which can be obtained from
the Homework
Assignments page.
- All documents
will be made available as pdf files.
In some instances, documents might also be
posted as MS-Excel files (when there are
spreadsheets). In order to download a document
to your machine, simply click on the filename
hot link. You may then print the document,
save it or do whatever else you wish with it.
- As an example,
here's a document that contains the course
outline and description: course.pdf.
- I have collated
copies of the PowerPoint overheads that I use
for this class and put them together into a
set of notes for the class which are required
for this course. These have been
transcribed into .pdf files
and are available in the Course
Materials section of this web site from
where they can be directly downloaded and
printed (Note: this page is
password-protected).
- Bring the
notes with you to class EVERY session.
That way, you can take down any notes directly
on the copies that you have and listen to the
lecture (rather than trying to copy into your
notebook everything that you see on an
overhead...).
