Principles of Operations Research for Industrial and Production Processes

At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. explain the fundamental principles of OR and how to develop OR techniques and tools; 2. develop linear programming and simplex models for industrial and Production systems; 3. apply these techniques and algorithms to solve them; 4. interprete and apply results of an OR model; and 5. disseminate the results of OR project through a written report and oral presentation.
