Industrial Engineering

Course Objective

This course aims to introduce students to Operations Research (OR) topics and demonstrate how OR is applied in real-life situations. The objective is for students to develop the skills necessary to mathematically model deterministic problems and solve them using computers. Additionally, the course will enable students to make informed business decisions from an optimization standpoint.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Ability to develop linear programming and integer programming models to solve industrial engineering problems
2   Ability to solve linear programming and integer programming problems using appropriate methods
3   Ability to conduct sensitivity analysis in linear programming problems
4   Ability to interpret, report, and present solutions acquired through the implementation of optimization techniques in the field of industrial engineering
