Operations Research and Its Applications

The present text book entitled “Operations Research & its applications“ is very much useful for a beginner in this domain . More particularly for a quality control manager, person using network analysis and queue models for decision making. It is an Art, Science & Technology to understand the business environment to take the necessary alternative course of action to enhance the company’s reputation.It is frequently being used to analyze complex real life problems, typically with the goal of improving the performance of the organization. It is a multidisciplinary science which deals with the problem, formulation and solution in order to take an apt decision. This text book is suitable for all graduate students across the globe.
In any industrial firm, managers always use methods of operations research to maintain a better quality control in their production. This is possible as it provides a fundamental basis in which one has to maintain and establish the standards of the company’s performance and ways to measure its productivity. It also, time and again monitors the standards and reports deviations, if any and enables the authorities to take the corrective measures. The mathematically developed formulas used in this book are readable format also student friendly. The main idea of this book is to increase the productivity in a deterministic or probabilistic way as they apply by usingtools like defining suitable algorithm, machine utilization and manpower planning in incorporating innovative technologies.
In a nutshell, it is a subsidiary framework for a student with an adequate mathematical foundation to understand operations research problems like Linear Programming, Assignment Problems, Network Models, Dynamic Programming, etc. Thus, it gives an insight to understand the industry requirements and suggests valid optimal solutions by using the latest available techniques.
