The aim of this unit is to develop skills in constructing and applying integer linear programming models to large-scale industrial problems. Such problems arise in many applications, including airline scheduling, communication systems, distribution networks, production planning, defence warfare systems, environmental modelling, resource management and many more. These problems are computationally difficult, but improved solutions have significant impact on the competitiveness and viability of businesses and industries. The important components of this unit are modelling with binary and integer variables; and solving mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problems using commercial... -- Course Website
