Welcome to the Enterprise Planning, Scheduling, and Optimization Laboratory (EPSOL). It is a part of the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering in University of Wisconsin - Madison.

EPSOL is led by Prof. Leyuan Shi and consists of experienced visiting scholars and talent Ph.D students. Our researches include developing theory and methodologies for design and optimization of complex systems such as supply chain networks, manufacturing systems, transportation systems and healthcare delivery systems. Researches in this lab consist of modeling, optimization and implementation of solutions to various systems integration problems. Problem categories include, discrete vs. continuous, deterministic vs. stochastic and prescriptive vs. descriptive.

Of particular interests to our researches are large-scale mixed integer models and simulation models arising from a wide spectrum of application domains. Our interests in these areas have spanned three levels: semantic modeling and design of systems, sensitivity analysis via discrete-event simulation and control and optimization.

Our group is led by Prof. Leyuan Shi.

There are five graduate students currently in this group.

All journal papers are available here as downloadable pdf files.
