OPERATIONS RESEARCH

This module covers the application of many kinds of mathematical methods to improve the efficiency of processes and the management of complex systems. A range of techniques associated with mathematical models constructed to describe and solve problems is considered. Operations Research concerns the application of many kinds of mathematical methods to improve the efficiency of processes and the management of complex systems. The module is discussing a variety of useful models, techniques and applications. Some of the models which are discussed in this module include transportation models, network models, project scheduling, inventory control models and non linear programming models. The applications include industrial processes, management systems, road and transport networks, telecommunication systems and construction projects.
