Application of Operation Research Techniques in Production and Operation Research

Organizations are facing ever increasing challenges, brought on by marketplace pressures or the nature of the workplace. Many organizations are now looking for effective application of control systems to address these challenges. The operation research is a way that describes the discipline that is focused on the application of information technology for informed decision making. In other words or represents the study of optimal resource allocation. The goal of OR is to provide rational bases for decision making by seeking to understand and structure complex situations, and to utilize this understanding to predict system behaviour and improve system performance. Much of actual work is conducted by using analytical am numerical techniques to develop and manipulate mathematical models of organisational systems that are composed of people, machine and procedures. This conceptual paper introduces some of the methods and applications of OR in production operation management and elaborates on some of the benefits that may be gained by incorporating OR into the actual business framework. It may assist decision makers in almost any management function. To illustrate, OR supports the key decision making process, can be utilized to design improved multistep operations, setup policies, supports the planning and forecasting steps and measures actual results
