Main themes The scope is the realization of a project, devoted to the development of a prototype decision support system, based on a quantitative modelling approach applied on a real case study. The volume of the activity (10 credits) allows the students to treat several managerial dimensions of the business case studied.
Aims At the end of the class, students should be able to tackle a quantitative management problem: - to model it , - to identify adequate operations research tools (models and methods) to be used in order to obtain an adequate solution (trade-off between solution time and solution quality) , - to implement the solution approach identified, and - to validate the approach and results obtained. The objective is also to integrate some knowledge acquired in - the bachelor program (disciplinary courses) - the master program in management (functional courses in management) - the project management course through a project based learning approach.
