OPERATIONS RESEARCH
Optimization algorithms and simulations can inform complex business choices to maximize profitability. This is known as operations research (OR), also sometimes called management science or quantitative management.
How Do Operations Research Solutions Work?
OR solutions use mathematical modeling, statistics, and specialized software to determine optimal or near-optimal solutions to complex or intricate large-scale decision-making problems. Closely related is Monte Carlo simulation (or simply “simulation”), which models business problems when one or more key inputs is uncertain.

The Benefits of Operations Research Solutions
Greater future Success
By applying OR, decision-making can be driven by data, instead of emotion or gut feel. Future success can be more assured because it will be based on metrics instead of guesses.
Expedite the decision-making process
Decisions supported by data can be made much more quickly than decisions made by human judgement or consensus-building alone. Faster decision-making allows organizations to reach business targets more rapidly, positively impacting profitability.
Improve Existing Systems, develop new ones
OR solutions are often applied to existing business processes and systems, but also to developing new ones. Organizations always want to maximize their value from current operational assets and capabilities, but value can also be increased by investing in greater capacity or systems reconfiguration. Operations research enables both kinds of decision-making.
Save Time, energy, and stress
By implementing OR solutions, your organization will save time, energy, and stress because you’ll know that decision-making is based on valid data and analysis, rather than emotion or impulse. Decision-making processes will be streamlined with consistent logic, rather than being burdensome and improvised, reducing stress on you and your organization.
