Only open to master's students with a quantitative background from their bachelor degrees. Students in Industrial logistics without a quantitative logistics background should rather take LOG707.
6 hours per week. The course is a combination of selected topics in logistics and an introduction to the use of software programmes.
Individually submitted assignments plus one case (85%). A final oral examination (15%).
The course will give students an opportunity to become familiar with using software to solve linear models including the use of 0/1 variables. In addition, there will be emphasis on training to prepare students to make and solve mathematical model, and to analyze the solution.
The mathematical models will be related to logistics problems taken from production planning, distribution planning, routing, and combinations of these. The course also deals with logistic relations and the use of discrete variables in modeling. During this semester, the software programme, AMPL, will be used.
