Definition von operations research im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch
The application of scientific methods and techniques to problems of decision making, especially in business management and government administration
Mathematical or scientific analysis of a process or operation, used in making decisions. Application of scientific methods to management and administration of military, government, commercial, and industrial systems. It began during World War II in Britain when teams of scientists worked with the Royal Air Force to improve radar detection of enemy aircraft, leading to coordinated efforts to improve the entire system of early warning, defense, and supply. It is characterized by a systems orientation, or systems engineering, in which interdisciplinary research teams adapt scientific methods to large-scale problems that must be modeled, since laboratory testing is impossible. Examples include resource allocation and replacement, inventory control, and scheduling of large-scale construction projects
The use of a mathematical technique to examine the effect of changing an element of a particular problem
"The use of quantitative models to analyze and predict the behavior of systems that are influenced by human decisions" -- Introduction to Operations Research, by J G Ecker and M Kupferschmid, John Wiley & Sons, 1988 Operations research tools are frequently used by industrial engineers, and include queueing and simulation models
The analytical and mathematical study of human enterprises as an aid to management strategy
The use of analytic methods, usually with a computer, adopted from mathematics for solving operational problems Among the common scientific techniques used in operations research are: statistical theory, information theory, linear and non-linear programming, optimum-seeking methods, game theory, simulation, Monte Carlo methods, expert systems, and queuing theory
scientific or mathematical analysis of problems involving complex systems; arranging and analyzing of data and statistics concerning military operations
Scientific approach to decision making that involves the operations of organizational systems (22)
The development and application of quantitative techniques to the solution of problems More specifically, theory and methodology in mathematics, statistics, and computing are adapted and applied to the identification, formulation, solution, validation, implementation, and control of decision making problems
