Written assignment

<p>This module will introduce you to the field of management science modelling. A range of features of the area such as spreadsheet modelling, optimisation, linear programming network models and nonlinear optimisation models will be developed, explored and analysed using appropriate computer software tools. Using a number of different case studies, this module will enable you to evaluate a business problem, identify the most appropriate modelling approach to be used, verify and validate results and present a detailed analysis.</p>
