Aims :

The purpose of the course is to study the advanced tools for optimization methods for decision making. The student will be able to formulate decisional problems of production management as programming mathematical models which can be solved by optimization algorithms.

Topics :

- Transportation problems : simplex method
- Assignment problems in production : hungarian method
- Maximum flow problem : Ford and Fulkerson’s algorithm
- Minimum cost flow problemin transportation networks : vehicle and crew scheduling
- Project management : PERT and CPM techniques
- Linear integer programming: Gomory's cutting plane methods, branch and bound algorithms.
-Linear integer programming problems : staff scheduling, production scheduling, knapsack problems, traveling salesman problem, cutting stock problems, set covering and set partitioning, lot sizing and production planning, production management systems
