Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course builds upon the knowledge gained in the course LP-Modeling I and introduces students to advanced modeling techniques. In particular, complex linear programming models in the fields of production, logistics and supply chain management are discussed. Besides the modeling aspects, an emphasis is given on the implementation of the models in XpressMP, which is then used to solve these models.

In addition to the classes, students are supposed to prepare different homework assignments, which they must be able to explain / present individually. The classes will consist of a short discussion of the homework assignments, a lecture part, and programming on the computers in the lab by the students.

At the end of the course students should be able to develop mathematical (linear programming) models for different problems that arise in production and logistics. Moreover, they will have acquired programming skills in Mosel (the programming language of XPress) in order to implement and solve these models by the use of XPressMP.

Assessment and permitted materials

60 % different homework assignements
5 % active participation in class
35 % final exam (closed book)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

In order to pass the course (minimum requirement) students have to achieve at least 50% in total.

Examination topics

Students are expected to understand, formulate and solve a variety of LP models and implement them using XpressMP. Slides will be available in Moodle.
