Operations Research - Introduction
Definition 1. MS/OR is the application of scientific methods, techniques and tools to problems involving the operations of systems so as to provide those in control of the operations with optimum solutions to the problems. 2. MS/OR is the application of the scientific method to the study of the operations of large, complex organizations or activities. 3. MS/OR is the application of the scientific method to the analysis and solution of managerial decision problems. ___________________________________________________________________________ Quantitative Methods of Management Jan Fábry
