Optimization - Operations Research and Data Simulation

About The Course

Optimization involves finding the best possible solution from multiple available solutions which is a cost-effective and high-performance solution. Optimization is used in solving multiple business problems and one of the core concept in advance analytics.

Some Of The Areas Where Optimization Is Used Widely Are

• Crew member allocation in various industries
• Airlines industries to schedule their cargo flight routes
• Supply chain optimization
• Pricing and Revenue optimization
• Manufacturing sector for production
• Transportation and logistics

Optimization techniques not only provide the best optimal solution but also provides feedback on how changing the objective function coefficient will change the optimal solution. Every industry faces optimization problem and different optimization techniques are used to solve different problems. Different optimization problems include linear optimization problem, combinatorial optimization problem, constrained optimization problem, multi-objective optimization problem, nonlinear optimization problem, etc.

Are you looking to build an optimized routing system and solve a transportation problem; Do you want to identify what is the right volume of spare parts that need to be manufactured based on demand, supply, resource availability; Do you want to know what is the right way to allocated resources to a project without any redundancy or do you want to know a simple trick to solve Sudoku puzzle, then Optimization is the right subject that you need to learn.

It is important that we understand which optimization technique needs to be used to solve a problem and also get a clear view on how to identify the objective function, decision variables and constraints to solve the problem correctly. We help you in learning different optimization techniques by using industry business scenarios and also teach widely used optimization tools like Solver, @Risk optimizer.

Data for a Data Scientist is what Oxygen is to Human Beings. This is also a profession where statistical adroit works on data – incepting from Data Collection to Data Cleansing to Data Mining to Statistical Analysis and right through Forecasting, Predictive modeling and finally Data Optimization. A Data Scientist does not provide a solution; they provide the most optimized solution of the lot. Gartner predicted in 2012 that Data Scientist & Business Analytics jobs will increase to the tunes of Millions by the end of 2015. This is very evident with the rise in job opportunities in various job portals. As a Data Scientist or an aspirant, you should not believe us. Go search for your own and confirm with facts and figures.
