Operations Research courses can help you learn optimization techniques, simulation modeling, decision analysis, and linear programming. You can build skills in data analysis, resource allocation, and risk assessment to improve efficiency in various sectors. Many courses introduce tools like Excel Solver, MATLAB, and Python libraries that facilitate complex problem-solving and data visualization, enabling you to apply these skills in practical work such as supply chain management, logistics, and production planning.
