Course Description

Operations researchers make use of analytical and creative skills to assist organisations in developing better systems and operational procedures.

They examine an organisation's operations and use mathematical modelling, computer software or other analytical approaches to find more effective ways of working. They provide managers with the information they need to develop a strategic policy and make better decisions.

Operations research (OR), sometimes also known as management science, was developed in Britain during World War Two, when it was used to apply mathematical and scientific techniques to the planning of military operations. Today OR is used throughout industry, commerce and government services.
