Entry requirements
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Prerequisites
(valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Basic course in optimization, including network programming. Solid knowledge in computer programming. Recommended prerequisite: Knowledge in optimization modelling language (AMPL or ZIMPL), large scale optimization.
Intended learning outcomes
The course aims to give the students an ability to model optimization problems, and an insight in how mathematical theory can be used to formulate and solve practical problems, with emphasis on applications in supply chain, distribution and transportation planning. The course also aims to give a deeper knowledge about combinatorial optimization, i.e. optimization problems with an underlying graph structure.
Course content
Supply chain optimzation problems, Sequencing and scheduling problems in production planning, Classical machine scheduling problems, Capacitated lot-sizing problem, Transportation and routing problems, Local search/tabu search, Column generation, Ampl-modelling.
Teaching and working methods
The course is built up around a number of cases (practical applications), where the students work with problem analysis, modelling and solving using software as Matlab and Ampl/Cplex. The lectures cover theory and optimization methodology. The cases are discussed and the students present the results of their work. Other practical applications are discussed.
