Math in Business

Operations research (OR) is a scientific approach to solving problems in the management of complex systems, empowering decision makers to improve their decision-making capabilities. OR is used by businesses across all industry sectors, governments and others.

During the workshop we will discover linear programming, one of the simplest ways to perform optimization. Using Lego bricks we will help to the production manager of a furniture factory to make the best decision in order to earn the highest profit. In addition, everyone can create her/his own business and optimize the production and selling process to reach highest profit.
