 Course Description
The objective of this course is to introduce students to commonly used quantitative techniques
that can be used to design and manage systems with scarce resources by applying scientific
approaches. The course provides students with the necessary knowledge and skills to learn the
optimal solution for the problems faced in an organization. The course material proves useful
for improving and optimizing the performance of an organization. The course covers the
following topics: linear programming, transportation models, queuing theory and waiting line
models, and application of computer simulation, introducing the solution methods for
mathematical programming models and examining the validity of the models and interpreting
the obtained results.

 Course Intended Learning Outcomes


On successful completion of this course, students should be able to:
1. Understand the importance of applying quantitative analysis for solving difficult managerial
problems.
2. Use the approach of linear programming for situations involving maximizing or minimizing a
linear function.
3. Learn how to use transportation model as useful planning tool for the distribution of goods
and services from several supply locations to several demand destinations.
4. Understand and make better decisions concerning the operation of systems involving the use
of waiting lines.
5. Apply computer program to model operation and perform simulation computations for
different types of problems such as inventory, queuing or planning.
6. Apply PERT and CPM techniques to determine the critical activities of a project and compute
the total time of a project deterministically and probabilistically.

Course Requirement Points
Assessment (1) 10
Assessment (2) – Mid Term Exam 20
Assessment (3) 30
Assessment (4) – Final Exam 40
Total Points 100 points
Important Note:
 Final Exam weight should not exceed 40% of total Assessments

Below is the detailed guidance for the required assessment items:


1- Assessment (1): 10 Points
Please provide details

2- Assessment (2): 20 Points


Please provide details

3- Assessment (3): 30 Points


Please provide details

4- Assessment (4): 40 Points

A- 3.7 85-89 Great performance
Just above good
B+ 3.3 80-84
performance
B 3.0 75-79 Good performance

C+ 2.3 65-69 Fair performance
C 2.0 60-64 Acceptable performance
F 0.0 0-59 Failure

 Class Policies
1. Class Participation:
 Class participation is a principal component of all coursework in the program. Course grades
reflect the quality of students’ academic performance as a whole, which normally includes
regular participation in the total class experience and are evaluated accordingly.
 You are expected to be thoroughly prepared at each class meeting (e.g., required readings).
To reinforce this expectation, I will often randomly select a class member to comment on an
issue.

2. Attendance Policy:
ESLSCA University expects students to attend all regularly-scheduled classes for instruction and
examination. When a student is compelled for any reason to be absent from class, the student
should immediately convey the reason for the absence directly with supported documents to
the course coordinator and to academic affairs and finally to be approved by the course
instructor. The student is responsible for all material presented in class and for all
announcements and assignments.
The decision to permit students to make up work that is required in any missed class resides
with the course instructor. Students are required to attend a minimum of 75 % of all course
classes, students who exceed the permitted percentage of absence (25% of all course classes)
will be administratively forced withdrawn (FW) from the course; a grade of F due to FW may be
assigned when students fail to attend a minimum of 75% of the total course classes. Students
who have not attended classes but still appear on the class rosters are considered No Show
students.
3. Classroom Conduct:
 Punctuality:
Lateness is disrespectful and disruptive. Chronic lateness will not be tolerated. Please be
punctual for class and for your group meetings.
 Cellphones and Electronic Devices:
Cellphones are not permitted in class; please turn off your cellphones in class.

4. Academic Integrity Policy:
As part of our commitment to maintaining a culture of academic excellence and integrity, this
CDF outlines the University's policies regarding academic dishonesty. All students are expected
to uphold the highest standards of academic honesty and adhere to the following principles.
Any violation of the Academic Integrity Policy will be taken seriously and may result in
disciplinary action. Consequences for academic dishonesty may include, but are not limited to, a
failing grade on the assignment or examination, a failing grade for the course, academic
probation, or even expulsion from the University.
A. Plagiarism:
Plagiarism is a serious offense and goes against the core principles of learning, research, and
education in general. Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, presenting someone else's
work, ideas, or intellectual property as one's own without proper attribution. You are
required to properly cite and reference all sources used in your academic work, including
written assignments, research papers, projects, and presentations. When in doubt, always
consult your instructors to ensure you are adhering to the appropriate citation guidelines.
B. Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI):
AI (artificial intelligence) resources such as ChatGPT and others can be useful in a number of
ways, but it can also be abused. However, you are required to acknowledge the use of AI in
any work you submit for class. Text directly copied from AI sites must be treated as any
other direct quote and properly cited. Other uses of AI must be clearly described at the end
of your assignment. The following are some guidelines for what not to do when using AI in
your assignments and for plagiarism detection:
I. Do not rely solely on AI tools to complete assignments. It is important to understand the material
and complete assignments on your own, using AI tools as a supplement rather than a replacement
for your own work. If any assignment is done through AI, it will be considered as a violation of
academic integrity.

II. Do not use AI tools to plagiarize*. Using AI to generate or modify content to evade plagiarism
detection is unethical and violates academic integrity.
III. Do not assume that AI responses are always correct. It has been noted that AI can generate fake
results.
C. Collaboration:
Collaboration is encouraged but must be within the guidelines set by the instructor. In group
projects or assignments, students must clearly indicate their contributions and give
appropriate credit to their teammates. Unauthorized collaboration that results in identical
or substantially similar work for individual assessments is not permissible.
D. Cheating on an examination or quiz:
Cheating during examinations or quizzes is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not
limited to, using unauthorized materials, communicating with others, copying from
someone else's work, or using electronic devices for prohibited purposes during the
assessment.
E. Falsification of data:

Falsifying research data, experimental results, or any academic information is a severe
breach of academic integrity. Any form of fabrication, misrepresentation, or manipulation of
data is strictly prohibited.
