About Course

Operations Research (OR) is an analytical method using mathematics, statistics, and algorithms to find optimal, data-driven solutions to complex decision-making problems. Originating during WWII, it focuses on maximizing efficiency, profit, or yield while minimizing costs, risks, and time in systems involving people, machines, and resources.

What Will You Learn?

  • Methodology: Involves defining the problem, constructing a mathematical model, deriving solutions, testing, and implementing them.
  • Core Techniques: Linear programming (simplex method), integer/nonlinear programming, simulation, queueing theory, game theory, and network analysis (critical path method).
