Sommario/riassunto |
|
Operations Research is a bouquet of mathematical techniques that have evolved over the last six decades to improve the process of business decision making. Operations Research offers tools to optimize and find the best solutions to myriad decisions that managers have to take in their day to day operations or while carrying out strategic planning. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Today, with the advent of operations research software, these tools can be applied by managers even without any knowledge of the mathematical techniques that underlie the solution procedures. |
