Course detail
Operations Research
ÚSI-2FCOAAcad. year: 2017/2018
The course focuses especially on the basic principles of operational analysis. First of all, students will be made familiar with the linear programming fundamentals (LP) and with methods of LP problem solution. Number of examples of practical use of LP will be presented in the seminars, such as transportation problems solution, optimization of production, cutting plans optimization, etc. Also dealt with are the basic principles of network analysis - CPM, PERT, GERT and others. The attention is paid to the fundamentals of the queuing theory and its practical application. Students will be also provided with the fundamentals of models for production schedules and inventory models.
