Algorithmic programming for operations management

• variables and types
• operators and expressions
• conditional statements, loops and functions
• Object Oriented concepts
• Data structures
• Data preparation and reporting
• Integration with tools and libraries

After successfully completing this course, the student:

• understands the following programming constructs:

o variables and types,
o operators and expressions,
o conditional statements,
o loops,
o functions,
o data structures;
o object oriented concepts
o data frames

• can apply these constructs, to create algorithms that solve practical operations management problems, such as: loading data from a file system and from the web, preparing data for further processing (filtering and transforming data elements), writing results to a report;
• can programmatically integrate existing tools and libraries for solving practical operations management problems, such as: configuring and invoking a data analysis library and interacting with a simulation program;
• can demonstrate by means of an automated test suite to which degree algorithmic correctness has been verified.
