Data-driven optimization isn’t just theory—it’s a competitive advantage. This short course equips data analysts with practical optimization techniques that deliver measurable business impact.
Learners will build routing models to reduce logistics costs, implement elasticity-driven dynamic pricing strategies, and evaluate solution robustness under demand uncertainty. The course blends hands-on Gurobi optimization with Excel-based simulations to ensure skills translate directly into real-world ROI.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Apply mixed-integer programming to minimize logistics costs under delivery constraints
Build price-elasticity models that simulate dynamic pricing scenarios
Evaluate optimization sensitivity to demand forecasting errors
Validate pricing compliance with business guardrails
This course is unique because it combines hands-on Gurobi modeling with real Excel-based simulations, delivering immediately applicable skills that translate into measurable ROI.
To be successful in this project, you should have a background in basic statistics, Excel proficiency, and familiarity with business analytics concepts.
