Lean Beyond the Line: Next-Gen Techniques for Industrial Engineering Mastery

About the Course

This course is designed to empower professionals, managers, and students with the ability to apply optimization techniques to make more effective and sound decisions. In an era where data is abundant and decisions are complex, optimization provides a structured, quantitative approach to solving problems, allocating resources, and improving processes.

Participants will learn core optimization principles, explore decision-making frameworks, and apply practical tools to real-world scenarios. Whether it's for business strategy, operations, or project planning, this course emphasizes the value of data-driven and model-based approaches to reach optimal outcomes.

Course Objective

• To understand optimization as a tool for rational decision-making
• To learn various optimization models and techniques (linear, integer, multi-objective)
• To apply optimization in resource allocation, scheduling, and planning
