AM80462: Operations Research

The module aims to provide the students with a solid background of linear programming.

The course also focuses on optimization problems. The field of Operations Research is closely related to Industrial engineering. Industrial engineers typically consider Operations Research (OR) techniques as a major part of their tools. Some of the primary tools used by operations researchers are statistics, optimization, probability theory and simulation.

In operations research, techniques are most appropriate given the nature of the system, the goals for improvement, and constraints on time and computing power.
