Course Details
• Advanced Optimization Techniques – This unit covers advanced optimization methods such as linear, integer, and nonlinear programming, as well as metaheuristic algorithms like genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, and ant colony optimization.
• Stochastic Models – In this unit, students will study stochastic models, including Markov chains, Poisson processes, and queuing theory, to analyze and optimize systems with uncertainty and randomness.
• Network Flows – This unit focuses on network flow theory, including maximum flow, minimum cut, and transportation problems, with applications in logistics, telecommunications, and supply chain management.
• Simulation – Students will learn about simulation techniques and tools to model and analyze complex systems, including discrete-event simulation, Monte Carlo simulation, and system dynamics.
• Decision Analysis – This unit covers decision analysis methods, such as decision trees, influence diagrams, and multi-criteria decision making, to support decision-making under uncertainty.
• Inventory Management – This unit explores inventory management techniques, including the economic order quantity (EOQ) model, safety stock calculation, and periodic review policies, for managing inventory levels and costs.
• Queueing Theory – In this unit, students will study queueing theory to analyze and optimize systems with random arrivals and service times, such as call centers, hospitals, and manufacturing systems.
• Data Analysis – This unit covers data analysis techniques, including statistical methods, data mining, and machine learning, to support data-driven decision-making in operations research.
• Supply Chain Management – This unit explores supply chain management concepts, including demand forecasting, inventory management, and logistics optimization, to improve supply chain performance and efficiency.
• Revenue Management – This unit focuses on revenue management techniques, such as price discrimination, capacity control, and overbooking, to optimize revenue and profit in
