| Objetius |
| The objective of this course is to introduce the use of models and mathematical techniques for three important areas of business: project management, production planning, and distribution. In each theme, a panoramic vision is introduced together with some of the more important models and techniques. To provide students with the skills required to solve not too complex problems addressed in the theoretical lectures with the aid of some computer programs. |
