LOG904-115 Integer Optimization Models in Logistics (Autumn 2018)
About the course
The course focuses on training in developing and solving integer programming optimization models for various logistics problems taken from production, procurement, distribution planning. The purpose of the seminar is to give students a considerable hands-on Integer Optimization modelling experience. The course deals with logic relations and the use of binary variables in modelling.
The course is connected to the following study programs
- Master of Science in Logistics
- Experience-based Master in Logistics
- Master of Science in Petroleum Logistics
- Exchange programme - Master's level
Recommended requirements
LOG716 ¿ Mathematical Modelling in Logistics course practical experience in AMPL/CPLEX software.
