Synopsis

Operational Research (OR) is a discipline concerned with real-life problems and with people dealing with these problems, and it is characterised by an analytical way of looking at things.
Case studies are a key medium for transferring OR practice, and OR at Work contains 15 cases where decision makers face difficult problems in complex situations. Descriptions of successful practice give students as well as potential users a clear picture of what OR is all about and how OR projects are conducted. Interviews with successful OR practitioners and their clients are included, complementing the case descriptions. They make this book significantly different from most casebooks and through them the richness and variety of the discipline is revealed. Application areas studies include transport and logistics, product and process design, maintenance, and financial services, as well as healthcare and environmental decision making.
