Overview
About the Course:This course aims to provide Undergraduate and Graduate students with a sound conceptual understanding of the role that management science plays in decision-making process. This course is applications oriented and continues to use the problem-scenario approach. A problem is described in conjunction with the management science model being introduced. The model is then solved to generate a solution and recommendation to management.INTENDED AUDIENCE : Undergraduate and Post Graduate students interested in operations management. PREREQUISITES :Nil INDUSTRY SUPPORT :All analytics companies
