There are several typical models in the Operations Research field that can be applied to a wide range of supply chain problems. In other words, by learning a typical model various problems in supply chain optimization in the domain can be addressed.

Please note that the basis of all proposed problems is the methods that you have learned in this course; however, none of them has been directly taught. The reason behind the design of this assignment is that there are hundreds of problem variations with the same structure in the real business world.

Therefore, by learning linear programming, students should be able to formulate a solution for problems that have a similar structure to a typical problem. Students are required to research one of the proposed topics and address the assignment requirements accordingly.
