Department of Operations Research
Operations research is an interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods such as mathematical modeling, statistics, optimization, and simulation to find optimal solutions under specific constraints to solve complex real-world problems.
Methods such as sequencing, queuing theory, game theory, decision analysis, and graph theory are prominent in this field and are generally implemented with computer-aided systems.
The primary goal in this field is to maximize system performance to achieve specific objectives.
Operations research analyzes systems holistically, focusing on the entire system rather than individual elements.
Its application areas span many sectors, including factory layout planning, transportation and traffic management, logistics route optimization, telecom networks, production systems, and service planning.
The problem-solving process of operations research includes the following steps:
