Operations Research Part-I

This course is the first part of the lecture series of Operations Research course. It takes you through various topics like Introduction to Operations Research, Introduction to Linear Programming Problem(LPP), Formulation of LPP, LPP Solution using Graphical Method, LPP Solution using Simplex Method, LPP Solution using Two Phase Method and LPP Solution using BIG M Method. Various numerical are solved to explain the concepts and their applications. Basic Mathematics and Basic Knowledge of Management subjects are the requirement for understanding of this subject.

We start with Introduction to Operations Research and then discusses about the Scope of Operations Research (OR), Advantages and Limitations of OR, Types of Mathematial Models in OR and Classification Schemes of Models in OR.

Further, we move to the concept of Introduction to Linear Programming (LP) and then discusses about Requirements of LPP, Advantages & Limitations, Mathematical Formulation of LPP, Assumptions in Linear Programming Models in OR, Applications of Linear Programming Method in OR and Areas of Application of Linear Programming in OR. Further there are numericals discussed on Formulation of LPP.

Third section deals with LPP Solution using GRAPHICAL Method. Numericals are solved for the same.

Fourth section discusses about the theory and numericals on LPP Solution using SIMPLEX Method. 

LPP Solution using Two Phase Method is explained in the fifth section along with numericals.

Lastly LPP Solution using Big M Method is discussed in theory and numericals form.
