Abstract

This case integrates three different methodologies over a four-part sequence on a problem that mirrors a real-world, published project. Students apply statistics, integer optimization, and simulation analysis toward solving the job assignment problem. The case features four parts: (1) operating cost and runtime estimation via regression, (2) mixed integer optimization analysis of a baseline and two scenarios, (3) simulation of the recommended solution under uncertainty, and (4) reoptimization under uncertainty. The case has been implemented over a one- to four-week period with upper level MBA or masters in analytics students. The case has received very positive feedback.
