After an introduction to Linear programming (LP), Integer Linear Programming (ILP) and Network Flow Problems, the main location problems (i.e., basic facility location models, maximum distance models, total or average distance models and location problems in the public sector) and the main transportation problems (i.e., Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problems and Fixed-Charge Network Design Problems) will be presented and formulated via ILP. PERT and CPM methods to project management, as well as basic inventory policies, will be then discussed. Several examples
will be presented, together with the solution of simple logistics problems by means of an optimization solver.
