3. Prepare a review of the article, which must include, but not limited to, the following: a. Problem statement: concisely introduce the central problem that the paper addresses; state clearly what makes the problem challenging technically; b. Key concepts in the OR solution: discuss the main OR techniques used to solve problem; especially identify in your view the key concepts/analysis contributing to the success of the model; c. Identify possible improvements: elaborate on why improvements are necessary, and how you propose it to be done. This must be done containing details on how variables or constraints can be added or changed in mathematical terms. In other words, your suggestion(s) must be at the modeling level. d. In lieu of c, identify potential adjustment and customization for a similar but different project you vision an organization may face. Once again, this must be done containing details on how variables or constraints can be added or changed in mathematical terms. In other words, your proposed adjustments or customizations must be at the modeling level. e. Elaborate the major take-away for you from reading the article.
