Product Description
Today's world has increased in complexity to a point where the traditional methods of problem solving based on the cause-and-effect model can no longer cope. This book combines contemporary systems work with operational research, and explores current ideas and methodologies. The emphasis is on developing a methodology for decision making using quantitative approaches, rather than on an elementary survey of a large sequence of management science techniques. With the use of examples, the author explores a OR/MS methodology where the decision problem and decision-maker's objective can be identified, and decision choices are known or can be developed.
From the Publisher
An engrossing combination of modern systems work and operational research which explores current ideas and methodologies. Focuses on creating a technique for decision making using quantitative approaches instead of merely outlining a large sequence of management science methods. Using numerous examples, the author describes an OR/MS methodology which can pinpoint the decision problem, clarify the decision maker's objective and identify decision choices.
