This textbook is comprised of detailed case studies covering
challenging real world applications of OR techniques. Among the
overall goals of the book is to provide readers with descriptions
of the history and other background information on a variety of

they can be modeled and solved, the book helps students develop the
skills needed for modeling and solving problems that they may face
in the workplace. Each chapter of "Case Studies in Operations
Research: Applications of Optimal Decision Making" also includes
