Quantitative Techniques in Management, N. D. Vohra: College of Business Studies, Agra Faculty: Jitendra Dubey

The document outlines an instructional plan for an Operations Research course consisting of 5 units over 44 lectures. Key topics include: 1) Decision making under certainty, uncertainty and risk. Decision tree approach and applications. 2) Linear programming formulations, graphical and simplex methods for product mix problems. Transportation and assignment problems. 3) Sequencing problems using Johnson's algorithm and applications of game theory. 4) Queuing theory using Poisson distribution and applications. Replacement problems for deteriorating and failing assets. 5) Project management using CPM/PERT techniques for planning, control and crashing operations. Numerical cases will supplement each unit.
