管理哲学博士-运营与决策技术

运营和决策技术领域研究业务流程如何运作，以及如何使用高级分析在各种业务环境中做出最佳或接近最优的决策。随着我们的世界变得越来越数字化，将业务流程自动化并将其链接到人类系统的技术所产生的数据比以往任何时候都更多— —更大的数据— —。我们使用这些数据来发现推动卓越运营的基本业务关系，建立可传达核心系统动态的分析模型，说明可能并非立即显而易见的行动所产生的后果，并通过建议一个或多个解决方案来开发可帮助决策者的计算方法-最佳解决方案。
The Operations and Decision Technologies area studies how business processes function, and how to employ advanced analytics to make optimal or near-optimal decisions in a variety of business contexts. As our world becomes increasingly digital, the technologies that automate business processes and link them to human systems generate more data – bigger data – than ever before. We use this data to uncover the fundamental business relationships that drive operational excellence, build analytical models that communicate core system dynamics, illustrate consequences to actions that may not be immediately obvious, and develop computational methods that assist decision-makers by suggesting one or more near-optimal solutions. Courses offered by the Operations and Decision Technologies area draw on cutting-edge theory and research. Methodological topics include optimization, simulation, statistics, predictive analytics, decision theory, collaborative and non-collaborative game theory, networks, queueing theory, stochastic modeling and dynamic control. Application areas include supply chain management, logistics, inventory management, revenue management and pricing, sustainability and reverse supply chains.
