Objectives
Purpose of the course
After the course you will understand how engineers use mathematical models and tools to find the best, fastest or most economical way to achieve the desired operative goals.
Learning objectives
You know basic principles and methods of optimization and networks. You can construct an optimization or network model of a work-related problem and solve it by using a computer.
Content
Principles and methods of linear and nonlinear optimization
Fundamental graph theory and network optimization algorithms
Applications in operative decision making
Using Excel
Learning materials and recommended literature
Taylor, B. W. (2018) Introduction to Management Science. Pearson
Other material accessible in Moodle
Teaching methods
The contact lessons are in a computer class and involve use of computers. The theory should be independently acquired before class exercises. The learning is accomplished by assignments where theory is put into practice.
Exam dates and retake possibilities
The date and execution of the exam will be announced in the beginning of the course.
Alternative completion methods
The admission procedures are described in the degree rule and the study guide.
Student workload
Contact lessons about 20 hours
Independent study about 20 hours
Learning tasks about 20 hours
Further information for students
The assessment is based on learning tasks and exams.
