Operations research [ LINMA2491 ]


5.0 crédits ECTS  30.0 h + 22.5 h   2q 

Teacher(s) Jungers Raphaël ;
Language French
Place
of the course
Louvain-la-Neuve
Prerequisites

Prerequisite : notions of optimization, especially linear, and of probabilities.

Main themes

Operations research proposes conceptual models in order to analyze complex situations and to allow decision-makers to take the most efficient choices. These models, deterministic or random, allow a quantitative analysis of organizational and industrial management problems occurring in a wide variety of situations.

Aims

To be able to use operations research tools allowing to model and to solve organizational and industrial management problems.

Content

The course will tackle the following issues : - Deterministic and stochastic dynamic programming - Optimal resources allocation, optimal location - Planning and scheduling - Production and stockpile control, supply chains management, logistics - Reliability, dependability and equipment renewal - Portfolio management models, risk criteria - Introduction to game theory - Simulation techniques It will take particular care of their articulation with the degree courses in applied mathematics and more specifically with the following courses : optimization (INMA1702 and INMA2471), graph theory (INMA1691) and discrete stochastic models (INMA2470).
