This module is not approved as an Elective
On completion of this module, students should be able to:
- appraise the value of basic modelling techniques to a wide range of business situations and business problems; and
- demonstrate the transferable skills of numeracy and quantitative analysis.
On completion of this module, students should be able to:
- solve business problems using the business modelling techniques taught in the module;
- evaluate different alternatives in a business context;
- analyse numerical data and derive managerial recommendations.
Introduction to the most commonly used types of business models comprising:
- Project planning (Critical Path Analysis)
- Scheduling (Gantt charts, sequencing rules, rescheduling)
- Decision analysis (decision rules, decision trees)
- Simulation (queues, simulation tables, random inputs, output interpretation)
- Financial analysis (index numbers, interests, present values, series of payments)
- Linear programming (LP models, graphical and analytical solutions; sensitivity analysis) and
- Optimisation (profit maximisation).
