sequencing problems and processing of „n‟ jobs through „m‟ machines.
COURSE OUTCOME: Enable students to make decisions under conditions of certainty
and uncertainty. Improves the ability to formulate effective models for real world OR
problems.

(Minimizing and Maximizing Cases) – Balanced and unbalanced cases – Initial Basic feasible
solution by N-W Corner Rule, Least cost and Vogel‟s approximation methods. Check for
optimality. Solution by MODI / Stepping Stone method. Cases of degeneracy. Transhipment
Models. Assignment Models (Minimizing and Maximizing Cases) – Balanced and
Unbalanced Cases. Solution by Hungarian and Branch and Bound Algorithms. Travelling
Salesman problem. Crew Assignment Models.
UNIT III : INTEGER LINEAR PROGRAMMING AND GAME THEORY - Solution to

pure and mixed integer programming problem by Branch and Bound and cutting plane
algorithms. Game Theory-Two person Zero sum games-Saddle point, Dominance Rule,
Convex Linear Combination (Averages), methods of matrices, graphical and LP solutions.
UNIT IV INVENTORY MODELS, SIMULATION AND DECISION THEORY -

Inventory Models – EOQ and EBQ Models (With and without shortages), Quantity Discount
Models. Decision making under risk – Decision trees – Decision making under uncertainty.
Application of simulation techniques for decision making.

apply statistical tools to solve managerial questions, to learn to critically assess statistical
designs and methods.
COURSE OUTCOME: Students will be able to think critically about the data arising in
management environments, selecting the best tools to describe, analyze, and xploit this data
for decision support.
