Contents

The course focuses on training in developing and solving integer programming optimization models for various logistics problems taken from production, procurement, distribution  planning. The purpose of the seminar is to give students a considerable hands-on Integer Optimization modelling experience. The course deals with logic relations and the use of binary variables in modelling.

 

The course is connected to the following study programs

Recommended knowledge

LOG716 ¿ Mathematical Modelling in Logistics course practical experience in AMPL/CPLEX software.
