Operations research From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Operations research (OR) in the US, and Operational research in the UK, is an interdisciplinary branch of applied mathematics which uses methods like mathematical modeling statistics , and algorithms to arrive at optimal or good decisions in complex problems which are concerned with optimizing the maxima (profit, faster assembly line, greater crop yield, higher bandwidth, etc) or minima (cost loss, lowering of risk, etc) of some objective function. The eventual intention behind using operations research is to elicit a best possible solution to a problem mathematically, which improves or optimizes the performance of the system. Contents Overview History Societies and journals See also ... edit Overview The terms operations research and management science are often used synonymously. When a distinction is drawn, management science generally implies a closer relationship to the problems of business management . Operations research also closely relates to Industrial engineering . Industrial engineering takes more of an engineering point of view, and industrial engineers typically consider OR techniques to be a major part of their toolset.

Home Mission Statement Editorial Statement Editorial Office ... Meritorious Service Award The mission of Operations Research is to serve the entire Operations Research (OR) community, including practitioners, researchers, educators, and students. Operations Research , as the flagship journal of our profession, strives to publish results that are truly insightful. Each issue of Operations Research attempts to provide a balance of well-written articles that span the wide array of creative activities in OR. Thus, the major criteria for acceptance of a paper in Operations Research are that the paper is important to more than a small subset of the OR community, contains important insights, and makes a substantial contribution to the field that will stand the test of time.

Sources of Additional Information Significant Points While a bachelor’s degree is the minimum requirement, employers generally prefer applicants with at least a master’s degree in operations research or a closely related field. Computer programming skills and keeping up to date with technological advances and improvements in analytical methods are essential. Employment growth is projected to be as fast as the average for all occupations. Individuals with a master’s or Ph.D. degree in operations research or a closely related subject should find opportunities in a number of occupations that use their computer, mathematical, and problem-solving skills. Nature of the Work About this section Back to Top “Operations research” and “management science” are terms that are used interchangeably to describe the discipline of using advanced analytical techniques to make better decisions and to solve problems. The procedures of operations research were first formalized by the military. They have been used in wartime to effectively deploy radar, search for enemy submarines, and get supplies to where they are most needed. In peacetime and in private enterprises, operations research is used in planning business ventures and analyzing options by using statistical analysis, data and computer modeling, linear programming, and other mathematical techniques.
