5. Course Objectives:

The "Operations Research" course provides students with foundational knowledge and skills to formulate, model, and solve optimization problems in practical contexts. Students will be introduced to the basics of operations research, linear programming problem modeling, and solving methods using tools like CPLEX IBM. The course emphasizes solution techniques for linear programming problems, including the geometric method, the simplex method, the Big-M method, and the Two-phase method. Additionally, students will learn sensitivity analysis to evaluate the impact of changes in problem parameters and will explore real-world applications such as the transportation problem, the shortest path problem, and integer programming. By mastering algorithms like Vogel, Dijkstra, and Branch and Bound, students will be equipped to apply operations research methodologies to solve optimization challenges in various fields.
