What applied operations research?

Applied operations research at the Department of Management Sciences provides quantitative tools to model complex decision making problems in manufacturing and service industries in modern global economy.

What is operational research in mathematics?

Operations research (OR) is the mathematical study of resource allocation problems, decisions, games, uncertainty, scheduling and optimization. The various sub-disciplines of OR yield both analytic and computational tools that allow for mathematical modelling and efficient problem solving.

Why Linear algebra is used?

In simpler words, linear algebra helps you understand geometric concepts such as planes, in higher dimensions, and perform mathematical operations on them. It can be thought of as an extension of algebra into an arbitrary number of dimensions. Rather than working with scalars, it works with matrices and vectors.

How do you do research in operation research?

Conducting operational research involves gathering data, analyzing data and drawing conclusions.

1. Collect relevant data for your purpose.
2. Analyze your data using operations research techniques that help you make decisions based on alternatives, restrictions and evaluation criteria.

How does operations research help in decision making?

Operational research is only the means of taking the decision and provides the data to manager to take the appropriate and valid decision. The managers use this quantitative data for taking the decisions and find out the better decision. Hence, it is used to solve complex problems.

What are the main characteristics of operations research?

Three essential characteristics of operations research are a systems orientation, the use of interdisciplinary teams, and the application of scientific method to the conditions under which the research is conducted.
