Online retailers manage large distribution networks, holding inventory in multiple locations to serve geographically-dispersed customers with varying service requirements. What is the best way to fulfill each customer's order when customers have different service-time requirements?

Facilitation allows everyone to express themselves, keeps discussions moving and maintains a safe, respectful group environment.

This one-day workshop is designed for graduate students and Post Docs who are presently teaching, or who would like to prepare for their future teaching roles. Through interactive small and large group sessions, participants will develop pedagogical knowledge and skills.

This workshop provides some practical means for supervisors and graduate students to talk about and edit their own writing and that of others. Using authentic graduate writing material, participants will first be introduced to and practice: (a) a simple heuristic and some techniques for talking about and evaluating any genre of academic writing on a global level; (b) some practical vocabulary for
