COURSE DESCRIPTION

Course Level	Bachelor's Degree
Course Type	Elective
Course Objective	The aim of this course is to find solutions to complex business problems by using operations research techniques, to improve analytical thinking skills, and to obtain and interpret the solutions of the subjects covered in Quantitative Methods I and II courses by means of computers. In this way, when students are faced with real-world optimization problems, they will be able to model the problems and obtain solutions via computer.
Course Content	Within the scope of this course, the solution of problems in the subjects of Linear Programming Models, Sensitivity Analysis, Integer Programming, Goal programming, Transportation and Assignment Models, Network Analysis, Stock Models, Queuing Models, Data Envelopment Analysis with package programs will be discussed.
Prerequisites	No the prerequisite of lesson.
Corequisite	No the corequisite of lesson.
Mode of Delivery	Face to Face

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES

1	Students will be able to model and solve various business problems with Operations Research techniques and interpret the results.
2	Students will be able to make more accurate and rational decisions in their future working life.
3	Students will learn how to model business problems by discussing them with applied problems.
4	Students will be able to make potential improvement suggestions for inefficient businesses by determining the efficiency and productivity of businesses.
5	Students will gain analytical thinking skills.
