Course Objectives Students should have the ability to model and solve real-life problems using linear programming techniques and analyze results obtained with such models. Students should be able to use software to solve a variety of models.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Will acquire knowledge sufficient to use the deterministic O.R techniques, primarily the linear programming.
  • Will be able to develop an appropriate model from a verbal description of a problem.
  • Will be able to choose an approximate solution technique and solve engineering problems.
  • Will be able to interpret relevant information from a model and/or a solution and interpret it.
  • Will be able to develop and solve Linear Programming models using appropriate software packages.
Course Content Historical development of operations research, modeling, graphical solution, Simplex and dual Simplex methods, duality and sensitivity analysis, transportation, assignment, and transshipment problem.
