This course serves as an introduction to the field of operations research. It will quip students with scientific approaches to decision-making and mathematical modelling techniques required to design, improve and operate complex systems in the best possible way. Topics include the formulation of linear programming models: goal programming, transportation problem, case study. Further topics are mathematical programming: project planning and control, dynamic programming, integer programming, probabilistic models: application of queuing theory, forecasting and simulation, decision analysis (making hard decisions), and multi-criteria decision making.
