This course is integrative and will focus on prescriptive analytics making use of optimization models, linear optimization models, and integer linear optimization models. The modeling constructs that you will learn will equip you to address business process optimization scenarios that arise in business process planning and operations in areas such as manufacturing, production, logistics, supply chain management, marketing, or finance. Scenarios studied apply analytics to simulated and real-world industry data in manufacturing and logistics as well as selected HBS cases.
