The operations research analyst has a wide variety of methods available for problem
solving. For mathematical programming models there are optimization techniques
appropriate for almost every type of problem, although some problems may be difficult
to solve. For models that incorporate statistical variability there are methods such as
probability analysis and simulation that estimate statistics for output parameters. In most
cases the methods are implemented in computer programs. It is important that at least
some member of an OR study team be aware of the tools available and be
knowledgeable concerning their capabilities and limitations.
In this section we include a number of topics that relate to the methods of operations
research. The contents of this section are arranged by problem type. This Methods
section includes the documentation for the teaching add-ins.
Add Teach The Add Teach add-in allows the user to install and
remove add-ins in the Teach OR collection without
using the Add-in command of the Tools menu. With the
add-in installed, Teach appears on the main Excel
menu. Selecting the Add Teach item presents a dialog
that installs or removes add-ins with a click of the
button. The add-in also opens demonstration
workbooks that illustrate the operations of the Teach
OR collection.
Linear We provide three units to demonstrate and teach linear
Programming programming solution algorithms.
