This is an applied course in which students will be exposed to a variety of decision modeling applications from business to supply chain management. It has two parts, the first one is based on mathematical models, and the second part on algorithmic coding. In the first part we apply Integer Linear Programming (ILP), Non-LP and MultiObjective methods in the Excel Solver to target logistic problems. In the second part we cover metaheuristic methodologies, by implementing GRASP and tabu search algorithms in Visual Basic for Excel.
Topics covered:
1. Modeling and Mathematical Programming,
2. Integer Models,
3. Global and Multi-Objective Optimization,
4. Metaheuristics: GRASP,
5. Metaheuristics: Tabu Search.
The course is connected to the following study programs
- Master in Logistics
- Experience-based Master in Logistics
- Master in Sustainable Energy Logistics
- Exchange programme - Master's level
