| Kursusindhold | |||||||||||||||||
| The following topics will be covered: - Identification and representation of utility functions involving multiple objectives - Registration and filtering of data to be used in planning or control. - Definition and evaluation of management strategies (i.e. operational and tactical planning) - Evaluation of the utility value of tools for planning and control. Within each topic, relevant methods are discussed. The following methods are covered by the course: Methods for data filtering and production monitoring and analysis: - Control charts and traditional time series analysis - Dynamic linear models - Bayesian networks Methods for operational and tactical planning - Decision graphs - Dynamic programming - Linear programming - Monte Carlo simulation | |||||||||||||||||
