About Course

Operational Research is the use of advanced analytical techniques to improve decision making. It is also known as operations research, management science or industrial engineering. As an organization grows more complex, it relies on analysis to make informed decisions that were once made largely based on management intuition.

The Transportation Problem is one of the most important and well addressed problems in Operations Research. The origins of this problem are attributed to Hitchcock (1941) and it was referred to as the Hitchcock problem earlier. It has wide applications in logistics and distribution management. Similarly, Linear Assignment Problem also called Assignment Problem is a special type of a Linear Programming problem. This problem has extensive applications in allocation problems where different entities are allocated or assigned to other entities.

This course covers the approach to problem solving in Operations Research which is essential to solve Linear Programming problems. You will learn about the Transportation Problem, Assignment Problem and how to deal with these problems effectively. You will also be learning about solving Linear Programming Problems using a solver for complex Transportation Problem and Assignment Problem.

On completion of this course, you will not only have a strong foundation in concepts of Operations Research but you will also be able to solve various complex problems related to Linear Programming using a solver. So subscribe to this course now!
