Answer to the case questions based on the output of your analysis.
Students are required to submit a Word file to explain your mathematical models, to report your answers, and to write recommendations for decision makers based on the identified solutions, and an Excel file to demonstrate how you use spreadsheet to identify the solutions. You must ensure that the file is in a workable condition before the submission.
Submission process:
Students are required to submit both Word and Excel files individually.
