Operational Research Society

About:

Operational research (O.R.) is the discipline of applying advanced analytical methods to help make better decisions. By using techniques such as problem structuring methods and mathematical modelling to analyse complex situations, operational research gives executives the power to make more effective decisions and build more productive systems. The Society's main function is to enable members to acquire, share and exchange this knowledge. It does this by providing information and technical ideas through this website, through its many publications, and through a full range of conferences and courses.
