Course Objective

The aim of this course is to introduce the topics of Operations Research (OR) to students taking this course for the first time and to show how OR is applied to real-life problems. Students are expected to acquire the skills to mathematically model and solve deterministic problems using computers and learn how to make smart business decisions from an optimization point of view.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Ability to develop linear programming and integer programming models for solving industrial engineering problems.
2   Ability to solve linear programming and integer programming problems with appropriate methods
3   Ability to perform sensitivity analysis in linear programming problems
4   Ability to create and interpret solutions using optimization software

Mode of Delivery

Face -to- Face
