-
Applications
of optimization techniques in
financial problems.
-
Coverage of
OR concepts with Theory of
Constraint would have been
interesting.
-
Excellent
choice of topics – No suggestions.
-
Integer
programming, Lagrangian
relaxation,Stochastic models,
combinatorial optimization.
-
Focus should
be more on skills in practicing OR.
-
More on case
writing, game theory and other
applications of OR.
-
Simulation
and role play based sessions.
|
|
| |
Your suggestions to the program team, to
improve its quality: |
| |
-
Half day of
sessions followed by half day
preparation.
-
Excellently
managed program.
-
Incorporate
Case writing in OR in future – that
was a major attraction for the
programme;Case writing in OR was not
given due impoortance
-
Inclusion of
more case studies and solutions to
some of them.
-
Some sessions
were fillers; could have been
practical ones;Sessions on
marketing, R & D, etc should have
been executed by Practitioners;ORSI
should follow CS and CA
organizations.
-
Can bring in
more regour.
-
Duration of
the program is too short; May be can
be increased to 1 month in future.
