1. Global Supply Operations: SCM 300
This is an introductory course on supply chain management that is required for all undergraduate business students at ASU. Students learn a vast array of quantitative and conceptual material concerning the operations and coordination of supply chains (e.g., newsvendor model, queuing model, corporate social responsibility, and buyer-supplier relationships). In the spring of 2022, I taught the course to online students and received a course evaluation of 6.4/7.0.
2. Business Decision Models: SCM 315
Business Decision Models is a business analytics course that emphasizes practical applications with decision support tools. In this course, students first learn and practice analytical tools and techniques such as data mining, optimization, decision trees, and simulation. Then, they will apply their knowledge to a final data visualization project using Tableau.
