Objectives of the Course
Operations Research is roughly defined as the science of decision making. The course is designed to provide the students who are enrolled in business; with the fundamentals of linear programming (LP), including solution of LP problems/models, interpreting the solution of LP models and duality. Modelling the decision making problems, searching their solutions and making the right decisions are expected from the students who take this course. This course will also provide a background for the Operations Research-II course that they encounter in the next term.

Learning Outcomes PO MME
The students who succeeded in this course:
LO-1 Be able to construct the business problems mathematically. PO-13 It helps the students model their decision-making problem about life using the linear programming techniques, solve the simplex and transportation problems and interpret the outcomes in terms of technical and economical.
Examination
LO-2 Be able to solve the linear programming (LP) models using both graphical and the Simplex methods. PO-13 It helps the students model their decision-making problem about life using the linear programming techniques, solve the simplex and transportation problems and interpret the outcomes in terms of technical and economical.
Examination
LO-3 Be able to compose the dual of the primal LP model. PO-13 It helps the students model their decision-making problem about life using the linear programming techniques, solve the simplex and transportation problems and interpret the outcomes in terms of technical and economical.
Examination
LO-4 Be able to analyze the sensitivity of the outputs of LP models. PO-13 It helps the students model their decision-making problem about life using the linear programming techniques, solve the simplex and transportation problems and interpret the outcomes in terms of technical and economical.
