Business Analytics and Optimisation with Python

The decision making in digitized production systems is often supported by software implementations of optimization algorithms. The course provides an overview of
scientific programming using the example of the programming language Python and optimization algorithms known from the module Quantitative Methods for Digital Production Management. In particular, the following contents are covered:

• Basic programming concepts: loops, control structures, data types.
• Advanced programming concepts: Functions, use of libraries e.g. for the generation of random numbers and the solution of linear and mixed integer programs.

Prior or parallel attendance of the module “Quantitative Methods of Digital Production Management” is a prerequisite for successful participation.
