Abstract

Intuition and interpretations of quantitative methods are pedagogically helpful in the context of operations management. In this talk, we discuss two classy algorithms, Moore’s algorithm for maximizing order fill rate and Johnson’s algorithm for minimizing makespan. Along with the execution course of the algorithm on numerical examples, we will discuss the intuition behind the algorithm design as well as present their corresponding economic and computational interpretations.
