Linear, dynamic, non-linear and stochastic programming. Flow and network modelling. Queueing models and Markov chains. Some analytical results and use of discrete event simulation. Monte Carlo simulation. Stochastic inventory models. Forecasting. Reliability and maintenance of the production line. Synchronization of maintenance and production activities. Models and visualization of cyber physical systems in real time. Decision trees. Expected Utility theory.
Learning outcome
Knowledge:
Basic insight in mathematical formulation of operations and supply chain management problems. Ability to analyse and understand real problems in order to develop realistic models where text book examples are not sufficient. Understand the strengths and weaknesses of various modelling approaches.
Skills:
Be able to perform practical quantitative analysis related to operations and supply chain management. The students will be trained in using easy available tools like MS Excel with visual basic programming.
General competence:
Understand the relevance of quantitative analysis related to operations and supply chain management and the implication related to competence requirements in the companies.
