Learning Outcomes of the course unitBy the end of the course, the students should be able to:
  1. Draw, understand network diagrams and apply critical path analysis and project scheduling with fixed or uncertain activity times.
  2. Apply crashing activity times using linear programming models for the crashing decisions.
  3. Understand and explain decision tree analysis -tree diagrams and payoff tables. Apply and analyse decision making without probabilities (optimistic, pessimistic and minima regret approaches)
  4. Apply and interpret decision making with probabilities and perform sensitivity analysis. Calculate and explain the expected value of perfect information
  5. Understand Game theory. Matrix games, strategies, optimum strategies and the value of the game. Strictly determined games. 2X2 matrix games. 2xM and Mx2 games.
  6. Understand, apply and interpret Inventory control systems, EOQ model, Economic production lot size, and Inventory models with planned shortages.
  7. Apply, analyse and synthesize the above concepts in business related problems.
