| Course description |
Why it is important to include uncertainty in strategic and tactical planning models. Facility location models - deterministic and stochastic. Network design models - deterministic and stochastic. Some basic facility layout models with a focus on stochastic models. A discussion about how scenarios can be generated for these models. |
