COURSE OVERVIEW
Industrial engineering (IE) is an engineering profession that is concerned with the optimization of
complex processes, systems, or organizations by developing, improving and implementing integrated systems of people,
money, knowledge, information, equipment, energy and materials. Operations Research (OR) is a discipline that helps to
make better decisions in complex scenarios by the application of a set of advanced analytical methods. It couples theories,
results and theorems of mathematics, statistics and probability with its own theories and algorithms for problem solving.
Applications of OR techniques spread over various fields in engineering, management and public systems.
