Aim: To give the students the ability to solve larger operational research problems using linear programming. This means that the students should be able to formulate and structure large models, implement and solve them on computers, evaluate alternatives, and describe results and conclusions in a report. Since the available standard programs for linear programming are fairly similar, the obtained knowledge is not strictly limited to the program used here.
Contents: The theoretical background from 04030 Introduction to Operational Research is supplemented with a discussion of a standard program (GAMS) for formulation and solution of linear programming models, and various standard linear programming partial models are discussed using examples. We focus on methods for handling large, realistic problems. After the introduction, most of the time is used for independent work, solving one or more a larger problems and writing a report.
