Course Objective

This course will provide information on optimization problems that arise in business and teach mathematical modeling techniques to solve them. Specifically, we will cover the LINGO optimization modeling language and how to use it to code and solve the models we develop. We will also learn how to interpret the solutions and generate solution reports.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Ability to create mathematical models for problems in the service and manufacturing sectors
2   Ability to solve models using the LINGO optimization modeling language
3   Ability to analyze LINGO solution reports and perform sensitivity analysis with LINGO
4   Having the competencies to work in a team, report and present projects by taking part in an optimization project.
