Operations Research – Simplex Method Course
This course provides a thorough introduction to the simplex method in operations research, covering everything from formulating linear programming models and setting up standard form tableaus to performing pivot operations accurately and deriving actionable insights from optimal solutions. Participants will learn to interpret results, including slacks, profits, and sensitivity, while avoiding common pitfalls, equipping them to apply these techniques confidently in production planning and managerial decision-making scenarios.

What will I learn?
Gain expertise in the simplex method through this hands-on course. Formulate linear programs effectively, transform them into standard form, and construct precise initial tableaus using slack variables. Master pivot operations, monitor basis changes, and steer clear of typical calculation errors. Conclude by analysing optimal solutions, understanding slack and profit metrics, and delivering sensitivity analysis to inform decision-making.
