| The area of Quantitative Methods is a broad, interdisciplinary field of study concerned with issues arise in managerial decision making. Research in quantitative methods involves topics in both applied optimization and statistical modeling and analysis.
 |
Applied optimization explores resource allocation issues that frequently arise in telecommunication and transportation networks, and manufacturing and distribution systems. |
Statistical modeling and analysis address managerial problems in which randomness or uncertainty complicates the decision environment.
The area’s faculty has established distinguished research records in manufacturing, quality control/management, decision analysis, and mathematical programming. The current research initiatives include e-learning, e-commerce, data mining, and supply chain management. |
