In addition, the concepts, structure, benefits and problems of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions are examined from a business perspective, as well as from a technical Information Technology perspective.

Prerequisite: CEMS 201.

CEMS 302 Eng. & App. Sci. : Operations Research Lect: 3 hrs.

Topics include: the linear programming model and simplex method of solution, duality, and sensitivity analysis; transportation and assignment problems; and shortest path and maximal flow problems. In addition, probability review, Markov decision process, queuing theory, inventory models, and simulation will be covered.

Prerequisite: CEMS 202.

CEMS 303 Eng. & App. Sci. : Managerial Accounting Lect: 3 hrs.

In this course, students will gain a quick review of the principles of accounting and reporting to various users that are external to the organization.
