OPERATIONS RESEARCH

What Is The Operations

Research?
Operational
research,also known
as operations
research,is an
interdisciplinary
mathematical
science that focuses
on the effective use
of technology by
organizations.

The aim is to
help
determine the
management
policy and
actions
scientifically.

Operation Research

Operation research is the

application of advanced
analytical methods to help make
better decisions.
Operation Research

This situation provides;

More complete data
Consideration of all available
options
Careful predictions of
outcomes and estimates of
risk
The latest decision tools and
techniques

Operation Research

OR is closely related to industrial

engineering. Industrial engineers have an
engineering point of view and use
techniques of operations research as the
main tool.

that comes to mind
first in operations
research.

Interdisciplinary Approach
o Operations research is an
interdisciplinary approach.
Such as;
Physics
Chemistry
Statistics

Operation Research

13

So to take
advantage of
modeling and
solving problems
from different
perspectives, the
problem must be
explored by an
interdisciplinary
team.

Operation Research

14

Integrated Approach
(System Approach)
o Operation research takes into
account all elements of a problem
that belong to organization,
environment, and interaction
between them.

Operation Research

15

So all elements of
the system and all
kinds of interaction
between these
elements should be
examined together.

These issues;
I. Defining goals
II. Determination of the system which will
impact the problem
III. Determination of the constraints which
will affect solution of problem
IV. Determination of the assumptions
V. Determination of an appropriate measure
of effectiveness

Identification Of The Problem

Right solution can
not be obtained from
the wrong problem
The first and most
important stage of the
work is defining the
problem well.
This phase helps
examine the problem
at hand quantitatively.

The Establishment Of The Model

While modeling a
specific problem,
various symbols are
used.
It is an isolated
approach.

Iconic (imitation) Model

Analog (linear) Model

Mathematical (symbolic) Model

Operation Research

21

Obtaining Model Solution

This phase obtains an

optimal solution for
the model by using
various techniques.

Operation Research

22

Testing Of The Model Solution

Before the application of
the model solution, the
validity of model and
reliability of the solution
should be tested.
Validity of the model can
be decided by comparing
its outputs with the results
of past.

Operation Research

23

If past behavior is
repeated when
provided similar
inputs (a stable
solution is being
obtained), the
model will be
valid.

Operation Research

24

Implementation Of The Solution

Implementation of the
solution obtained from
a validated model is a
reliable solution to the
the real-life problems.
Implementation of the
solution is the duty of
operation research
team.

What are the decision
alternatives

Which restrictions will be

decided under

What is the appropriate

objective criteria used to
evaluate the alternatives

Operation Research

26

Operation research ensures the effective working of

organizations by providing solutions to their various
problems.
Operation Research

27

 Operation research is a comprehensive and

scientific feedback gathering method. This method
should be applied on a continuous basis.
