This course is intended to be an introduction to operations research models and applications within industrial engineering. This course will introduce models in operations research. The student will learn to formulate, analyze, and solve mathematical models that represent real-world problems. The course will cover linear programming and the simplex algorithm, and related analytical topics. It will also cover transportation problems, networks, integer, and non-linear models and models that handle randomness inherent in most real systems. Topics such as queuing models are included. Upon completion of this course the student will be capable of identifying problems in which operations research models can be utilized, as well as the ability to solve such problems using these models. Not for credit in addition to AMS 341.
