Operations Research (OR) began as an interdisciplinary activity to
solve complex military problems during World War II. Utilizing
principles from mathematics, engineering, business, computer
science, economics, and statistics, OR has developed into a full
fledged academic discipline with practical application in business,
industry, government and military. Currently regarded as a body of
established mathematical models and methods essential to solving
complicated management issues, OR provides quantitative analysis of
problems from which managers can make objective decisions.
