Course schedule, Modules and TAs • 1-2 weeks – One student takes care of everything • Labs by more experienced students
Business Functions • Start -> Concept -> Product -> R&D-> Engineering • Verification/validation/promotion -> Marketing (includes pricing) • Selling -> Sales • Making (manufacturing)/delivering (services) -> Operations/Supply Chain (Customer-supplier networks for complex products) • Money to make it all work -> Finance? • IS/IT……….. • HR
Issues • Learning customer preferences: Conjoint analysis • Demand-supply match of • Designers and products/projects • Orders and capacity • Uncertainty (queueing and delays) • => Constrained optimization
Issues (continued) • Product portfolios to maximize profits • Given resources • Acquire resources • Goal: Speed to market (to achieve premium) • In finance and engineering • Marketing • Now, in E-Business: Web page layout optimization to maximize yield and revenue • Pricing • Product diffusion: Bass Model
Issues (continued) • In product development, operations, finance • Options to acquire/buy/sell capacity, given uncertain demand • Tool kit: Stochastic Dynamic Programming (SDP) and Real Options (Decision Trees) • Use of SDP in Supply Chain Management • Use of SDP and constrained optimization in waterfall and spiral product development models • Integration with data mining
Data Mining • Trends in demand • Changes • Anomalies • Quality characteristics: good/bad - classification • Price changes and clusters • Volume changes and clusters • Associations
