In 2007, the Department of Industrial Engineering at the University of Chile allied with a major Chilean mining company to inaugurate a master’s degree program in globalization management. The program’s objective is to address the challenges Chile faces in its development of human and social capital by training young professionals. This paper describes the use of mathematical programming models...

Motivated by the question of which point-estimator digits to report in a statistical experiment, we study the probabilistic behavior of the digits as a function of the true performance measure and the point estimator's standard error. We investigate the family of Leading-Digit Rules, which guarantees that every unreported digit has correctness probability below a given threshold. We also propos...

Systems Engineering is not a new discipline; the term has been in use since World War II. Yet, whilst there has been no shortage of definitions of the term over the years (not all of which are consistent), there is little consensus on the scope of Systems Engineering. This is particularly true in relation to other overlapping disciplines such as System Dynamics, Operations Research, Industrial ...
