Sensitive parameter:
For a mathematical model with specified values for all its
parameters, the models sensitive parameters are the
parameters whose value cannot be changed without
changing the optimal solution.

Phases:
OR team gives management an explanation of the system.
These two parties share the responsibility for developing
procedures to put the system in operation.
Personal involved is indoctrinated, and system is initiated.

Discussion
This discipline focuses on constructing and solving
mathematical models, but these are only part of the
overall process of an optimization study.
Optimization is deeply intertwined with the use of
computers.
There are many exceptions to the rules prescribed:
OR requires considerable ingenuity and innovation.
