Businesses, governments and not-for-profit organisations are faced with complex decisions, for example, what and where to produce, how to do it cost effectively, and how to schedule resources. In the modern world, factors affecting decisions are complex, and decision-making is often too difficult to do by hand. Operations Research (OR) provides the tools needed to make such decisions rigorously and effectively. This course in OR will present some of the basic methods, concentrating on mathematical modelling and optimisation. But, OR is an interdisciplinary topic drawing from game theory, statistics, computer science and applied mathematics; we will show some of these connections. The course focuses on linear optimisation problems involving both continuous and integer variables, because they are used in a wide range of real-world situations. It will present the theory underlying optimisation, and also demonstrate how to apply optimisation techniques on real problems, for example maximising profit, minimising cost, or minimising risk. Topics covered include: linear programming; simplex method; duality and complementary slackness; sensitivity analysis; primal and dual algorithms; algorithm analysis and complexity; integer linear programming; branch-and-bound; heuristic methods; interior point methods; and network analysis. Examples will be presented from important application areas such as energy, telecommunications, transportation and manufacturing. |
