More about this course
- In this course, we will explore the components of optimization and how to set up an optimization problem in Excel
- We will also practice capacity and resource optimization and explore examples of both in the supply chain
- Building off of our optimization practice, we will next learn how to use a Monte Carlo simulation to make the least risky decision in uncertain supply chain situations
- Finally, we will combine our skills from this and the previous two courses to build a demand and inventory snapshot and optimize it, using a Monte Carlo simulation, to mitigate risks in the supply chain
