Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes

The course learning outcomes are: the presentation of mathematical programming problems, the presentation of their solution techniques and their applications in several areas such as production, distribution, routing, etc. Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to: model complex systems comprehend the mathematical foundation of the Simplex method and the dual theory select the appropriate algorithm for a particular optimization problem understand and apply the appropriate techniques required to solve linear optimization problems understand the principles of dynamic programming and apply dynamic programming solution techniques recognize and apply the appropriate inventory management policies (depending, each time, on underlying assumptions of the system)

General Competences

Working independently Decision-making Adapting to new situations Production of free, creative and inductive thinking Synthesis of data and information, with the use of the necessary technology Project planning and management
