Course Information
Catalog Course Description
Introduction to a set of decision problems that modern industrial engineers face in real-life and the tools and techniques employed to solve them. Linear programming formulations and solvers, heuristic methods, and randomness and variation in observations are covered through various problems and case studies in transportation and logistics, production planning, inventory control, and forecasting.
Learning Outcomes:
| 1. | - implement algorithms for business problems that can be depicted as an analytical/mathematical problem |
|---|---|
| 2. | - develop mathematical models in the form of linear programming problem formulations and solve these problems with (commercial) solvers |
| 3. | - comprehend how variation and randomness in life/observations can be depicted with functions |
| 4. | - establish the link between industrial engineering and required professional skills |
| 5. | - identify IE problems that you can attack, formulate and solve |
| 6. | - familiarize with industrial engineering profession |
Course Objective
The objective of the course is to introduce the students the industrial engineering profession through fundamental problems that are of interest to modern industrial engineering professionals and familiarize the students with major analytical modeling tools and problem solution methods used by industrial engineers.
