Overview of Modules
In todays highly competitive World, the survival of an organization depends largely on the use of advance
technology and scientific methodology for problem solving. This module will allow the students to cope with
decision-making in a scientific way by the use of mathematical techniques and models.
Rationale
To equip participants with a framework for formulation and implementation of operations strategy.
To provide some standard tools and techniques to solve engineering management problem
