5 ECTS credits
125 h study time
Offer 1 with catalog number 4014872FNR for all students in the 2nd semester at a (F) Master - specialised level.
There are three parts in the course:
I Waiting queues
II Inventory control
III Elements of dynamic-systems theory; Introduction to System Dynamics
ULB Course
Prior Knowledge: Probability calculus. Linear algebra. Some basic knowledge about ordinary differential equations (ODE)
Theoretical introduction lectures and Training sessions with exercises on each part
Total 12h theory + 12h exercises For each of the three described parts: 4h theory and 4h exercises. A laptop will be used to present the useful software, in particular the system- dynamics models developed with the freeware VENSIM PLE from http://www.vensim.com/download.html
Provide introductory knowledge to three important techniques of Operations Research for analysing stochastic processes and dynamic systems.
The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Written Exam determines 100% of the final mark.
Within the Written Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:
Three questions on theory without any supporting material + Three exercises with all needed supporting material on the three parts of the course: Waiting queues, Inventory control, Dynamic systems
Each question goes with a 0 to 10 mark. The sum of the six marks/3 gives a total grade between 0 and 20
The personal work - if applicable - is given a grade between 0 and 20. It is given the same importance as the written exam for the final grade
