PrintFaculty Profile
GEORGE STEINER
Operations Management
Professor
Area of Expertise
Professor Steiner specializes in production planning and scheduling problems and the development of analytical models for the efficient allocation of resources among competing activities. He teaches courses on Operations Management, Decision Analysis, Management Science, Operations Modelling with Spreadsheets, and Scheduling. His research interests include the analysis of scheduling models, combinatorial optimization algorithms on graphs and networks and the efficient generation of combinatorial objects by computers. Many of these problems are at the interface of Management Science, Mathematics and Computer Science.
