In this course, students have gained a deep understanding in using Excel to model business problems to help managers make better decisions, regardless of their functional areas. Students have been introduced to the use of optimization (linear programming, network models, integer programming, and nonlinear programming) and simulation. To do this, students will use the Solver add-in. The entire course is made of workshops (i.e., no lectures). The first two weeks will be dedicated to a complete review of Excel, preparing them to work on a project with your organization.
