Learning outcomes of the course unit
Mastering the objectives of the course CW05 - Decision making theory the students will acquire basic knowledge of theory decision making processes and methods of operational research, as well as their application in practice. They will gain basic information about the game theory and queuing theory, and the application of their principles and solutions in practice. Furthermore they will gain knowledge about information systems of operational analysis. They will gain knowledge about the principles of logistics as a systems science. Furthermore about logistics approaches to the solution of supply and transport problems, as well as when managing production processes. They will master the basics of applied mathematical methods, computer modeling with simulation software.
Prerequisites
Numerical solutions of differential equations. Matrix. Number of indeterminacy and statistics.
Co-requisites
Part of the knowledge of this subject can be supplemented with knowledge of the subject Logistics.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures, practical classes and self-study assignments. Attendance at lectures is optional, but attendance at classes is compulsory.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
For successful completion of the course the student is asked to study regularly and to attend the lectures and seminars. The student will prove his knowledge during an oral examination. The credit for seminars completion is conditioned by regular attendance and also by submitting the individual assignments.
