  1. IE477 End of Semester

  2. Agenda • Semester Reports • Outline • Proposed System • Minimum requirements • Team Work and Individual Performance • Professional and Ethical Considerations • Report Formats

  3. Semester Report - Outline • There is no single outline that we want you to adopt • Your report should cover the following: • a. System analysis – 15 Pts Current system analysis, data collection and interpretation • b. Proposed system – 8 Pts • c. Model(s) – 10 Pts Model development, consideration of alternatives, validation and test of models, technical competencies, etc. • d. Solution methods – 6 Pts • e. Other sections – 6 Pts This report should be self-contained and must include system description, problem definition, and project plan for the next semester.

  4. Semester Report • Should include • revised problem definition • revised time table and work packages • Should consider • all feedbacks given on your Project Proposals by your academic advisor and course coordinator (If there are any conflicting views, consult to your advisor)

  5. Proposed System • You are expected to design a system • What is a system? • A system is a group of interacting, interrelated, and interdependent components that form an integrated whole. • A system must have a purpose within a larger system and all subparts of a system must be present and have a unique arrangement for the whole system to fully function. • Systems maintain their stability by making adjustments based on feedback. • A component that constitutes a system could be a subsystem, a model, an interface, an algorithm, a process, a data source, an information flow, etc. • System design is the process of defining the system architecture, system components, and feedback mechanisms for a system to satisfy specified requirements.

  6. Proposed System • Develop a conceptual design of your system: • What is the purpose of your system? • What are the components of your system? • How do they interact? • What are the crucial information flows? • What are feedback mechanisms? • What is the outer system that your system is a part of? • Would like to see a “picture” of your system (i.e., “model of the system”, “system architecture”, “conceptual system design”, etc).

  7. Model • Some components of the system to be designed would require a model or models to develop. Wilson (1984) defines a model as follows: “A model is the explicit interpretation of one’s understanding of a situation, or merely one’s ideas about that situation. It can be expressed in mathematics, symbols, or words, but it is essentially a description of entities and the relationships between them. It may be prescriptive or illustrative, but above all, it must be useful”. • Note that in solving IE related problems, a wide variety of models such as mathematical, stochastic, statistical, simulation, data, and conceptual models could be useful.

  8. Semester Report Minimum Requirements • Conceptual design of your system • Model(s) developed, tested, and verified/validated • Directions for solution approaches

  9. Team Work and Individual Performance • We ask each group to fill one “Teamwork Summary Form” • Have it signed by each team member • Have it signed by your academic advisor • We ask each student to fill one “Peer Evaluation Form” • Send it from your personal Bilkent e-mail account to ie477@bilkent.edu.tr

  10. Team Work and Individual Performance • The group’s 5-Point Team Work performance will be determined based on the information in the Teamwork Summary Form • Academic advisors will evaluate each team member’s performance throughout the semester • S/he will inform us if one or more team members’ performance should be above or below the overall team performance • Overall team performance: Total points collected from all items in “IE477 Evaluation Form”

  11. Professional and Ethical Considerations • 5 Points attached to this issue, be careful! • Reminder: Travel organizations should be made by Yesim Erdogan • Some groups failed to do so, even though we informed them for at least two times, an “unprofessional” behavior

  12. Report Formats • Should conform to the “Report Format” document • Please consider all feedbacks given by the TAs about the format of your reports
