Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: This course is a first step to modelling of and optimization of real-life systems. It aims to introduce students to linear programming problems (LPPs) and teach them the solution methods for different kinds of LPPs. The students will also get familiar with the notions of sensitivity analysis and duality as well as learn how to apply LP to network, assignment and transportation problems.
Course Content: Introduction to operations research and linear programming (LP) models; the graphical method and applications; interpreting graphical solutions; graphical sensitivity analysis; the simplex method and applications; interpreting simplex solutions; simplex sensitivity analysis; using computer software to solve LP problems; duality; transportation and assignment problems and their solution algorithms; network problems and their solution algorithms.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Understand the concepts of modelling and optimization and distinguish between various optimization models.
2) Develop linear programming (LP) models using the problem description related to a real-life system.
3) Understand and apply different solutions algorithms associated with linear programming problems (LPPs).
4) Use at least one software and/or solver extensions to deal with LP problems.
5) Critically analyse and interpret LP solutions and present them in an understandable manner.
6) Apply LP to some more advanced problems.
