About Operations Research, Optimization and Simulation
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
The page is mostly mind maps, and they run across three broad areas. The first is optimisation. The Machine scheduling map sets out rules such as SPT, WSPT and EDD, and Moor's algorithm for minimising late jobs. The Management Science map covers linear programmes, graphical solutions and the simplex method. LP model report explains sensitivity and answer reports, including reduced cost.
The second area is simulation. Fundamentals of simulation modeling treats a model as a black box that turns inputs into outputs. Simulation Modeling covers systems, entities, queues and models. Modeling Detailed Operations looks at rejections, balking and terminating or steady-state runs.
The third area is decision-making, with flowcharts and maps on multi-criteria methods and a map on Maximum Flow under uncertainty.
Where to start
Begin with the general maps, such as Operations Research and Simulation, to get the vocabulary. Then move to Management Science for linear programming. The notes titled Primal Simplex show the canonical form and how to pick the entry column, which is useful once you have seen the graphical method.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a map first, then take a quiz on the same theme. The Management Science quizzes pair well with the linear programming maps. SM-Modeling, SM-Software and SM-Generating Random Variates match the simulation maps. Where a question trips you up, go back to the map branch and read it again.
Flashcards and flowcharts
The flashcards on computer simulation of production systems ask what continuous, discrete, deterministic and stochastic systems are, and what verification and validation mean. The Simulation project flowchart shows the steps of a study in order, which helps when you plan coursework.
Where this fits
This unit sits in the Quantitative Methods, Economics and Projects strand of Industrial engineering and quality. Teachers can pick maps and quizzes to share with a class. Choose one map today and see how far you get.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with a broad mind map such as Operations Research or Simulation to meet the main terms. Then move on to Management Science for linear programming, or Fundamentals of simulation modeling if simulation is your focus. Quizzes work best after you have read the matching map.
What do the mind maps on this page cover?
They cover machine scheduling rules, linear programming and the simplex method, sensitivity reports, integer programming, network models and maximum flow under uncertainty. There are also maps on simulation modelling, model building and multi-criteria decision analysis.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
What level are these resources?
All of the resources on this page are at university level. They suit university students working on optimisation and simulation, and teachers who want ready-made maps, quizzes and flowcharts to use or share with a class.
Who made these resources?
They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. Over 100 contributors have added maps, quizzes, flashcards, flowcharts and notes here, so the style and depth vary from one resource to the next.
What if the topic I need is missing?
Look through the related maps and flowcharts first, as a topic may sit inside a broader resource. If it is still missing, you can build your own mind map, flashcards or notes on it.
