This module introduces the students to Management Science, which is the study of advanced analytical and computational methods to support effective and informed managerial decision-making. The principal idea in Management Science is to formulate managerial decision problems as mathematical problems, which can subsequently be solved with mathematical or numerical techniques. The use of these methods will be illustrated with applications in diverse disciplines, in relation to supply chain and logistics management. Topics include linear and nonlinear programming, integer programming, network models, decision analysis, and queuing analysis.
