Operations Research Applications 1st Edition
Operations Research Applications 1st Edition (OR), which began as an interdisciplinary activity to solve complex problems in the military during World War II, has grown in the past 50 years to a fullfledged academic discipline. Now OR is viewed as a body of established mathematical models and methods to solve complex management problems. Also, provides a quantitative analysis of the problem from which the management can make an objective decision. OR has drawn upon skills from mathematics, engineering, business, computer science, economics, and statistics to contribute to a wide variety of applications in business, industry, government, and military. OR methodologies and their applications continue to grow and flourish in a number of decision-making fields.
The objective of Operations Research Applications 1st Edition is to provide a comprehensive overview of OR applications in practice in a single volume. This book is neither an OR textbook nor a research monograph. The intent is that this book becomes the first resource a practitioner would reach for when faced with an OR problem or application. The key features of this book are as follows:
- Single source guide to OR applications
- Comprehensive resource, but concise
- Coverage of functional applications of OR
- Quick reference guide to students, researchers, and practitioners
- the Coverage of industry-specific applications of OR
- References to computer software availability
- Designed and edited with nonexperts in mind
