Operations Research

Materials Management

Work through inventory and economic order quantity ideas for planning supplies, reducing stockouts, and balancing ordering costs with storage needs in health systems.

Linear Programming

Use optimization logic to allocate limited resources across competing needs, making constraints, objectives, and feasible solutions easier to understand.

Queueing

Model waiting lines and service flow to explore patient load, service capacity, waiting time, and bottlenecks in clinics or public-health service points.

PERT/CPM

Plan project activities with network methods that clarify task sequence, expected duration, critical path, and delays in public-health program implementation.
