You can build skills in linear programming, heuristic methods, and simulation modeling, that support analyzing complex systems. Many courses introduce tools like Excel Solver, MATLAB, and Python libraries such as SciPy, enabling you to apply optimization methods to real-world problems in logistics, finance, and operations management.
