IU Kelley School of Business Trustee Teaching Award in 2019, Finalist in 2015.Primary Instructor
- K635 Special Topics in Decision Sciences: Probability and Stochastics [Proposed and Designed] (IU, Fa '21, '22, '23)
-
Two week short course (bootcamp) to provide methodological background on Probability and Markov Chain theory to incoming Kelley School of Business doctoral students open to all departments.
- K604: Stochastic Processes: (IU Sp '19)
-
Doctoral course in stochastic processes, covering topics including conditional probability and expectation, exponential distribution and Poisson processes, DTMC and CTMC, including Chapman-Kolmogorov, state classification, limiting probabilities, time reversibility, and uniformization. Some queueing topics are introduced.
- P481: Supply Chain Planning and Analytics: (IU Sp '19, Fa '19)
-
Undergraduate course for supply chain majors covering topics in forecasting, aggregate planning, sales and operations planning, deterministic and stochastic inventory models, optimal product availability, and pricing and revenue management.
- SCM502: Operations and Supply Management: (ASU Fa '17)
-
MBA Core course with topics in process design, inventory management, capacity and flow time analysis, queueing, and lean manufacturing.
- P635 Managing Patient Flow Systems: (IU Sp ’13, Sp ’15, Sp '16)
-
Ph.D. seminar in the department of Operations and Decision Technologies. Students develop a theoretical framework in which to investigate patient flow problems and apply the theory in and outside of class to solve high impact healthcare problems.
- P429 Operations Processes: (IU Sp ’13, Sp ’14, Sp ’15, Fa ’15, Sp '16),
- Focuses on the study of the processes by which products are created and delivered to customers. The course emphasizes the process flow method using three measures of process achievement: throughput (the rate of product delivery), flowtime (the time it takes to deliver that product), and inventory.Topics include Little's Law, the uses of inventory, the importance of time-based competition, process analysis, and bottleneck analysis. Computational analysis using simulation is emphasized.
Executive Education
- Discovering Process Excellence: Single Corporation (ASU, SP '18)

- Managing Patient Flow: Kelley Connect Week (IU, SP '17) ,
- For online MBA students' one week in-person session. Discussion of the role of operations management in managing variability in healthcare delivery, followed by case discussion of "Quali Health: Creating Access to Quality Healthcare for South Africa's Excluded Majority."
