Learn the methodology and some prominent techniques of Operations Research to make informed decisions for solving your operational problems without the need of advanced mathematics.
Operations Research (OR) is an essential field that deals with operational planning and control issues across various sectors. This course equips learners with quantitative tools to tackle complex operational problems through methodologies such as the Simplex Method for Linear Programming and the Critical Path Method for project scheduling. It integrates mathematical procedures and active learning exercises to help participants master and apply OR techniques effectively in their professional arenas.
This course is tailored for students and professionals in engineering, management, and other sectors seeking to enhance their operational planning and decision-making skills through quantitative methods.
Learners can apply the skills acquired in various real-world contexts such as optimizing production plans, efficient resource allocation, project scheduling and management, and tackling operational issues under uncertainty using simulation. These skills are invaluable in sectors such as manufacturing, construction, financial services, and healthcare, enhancing operational efficiency and decision-making capabilities.
