CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO OPERATIONS RESEARCH (OR) 1.1 INTRODUCTION Operation Research‚ an approach to decision making based on the scientific method‚ makes extensive use of quantitative approaches to decision making. In addition to operation research‚ two other widely known and accepted names are management sciences and decision science interchangeably. The scientific management revolution of the early 1900s‚ initiated by Frederic W. Taylor‚ provided the foundation for the use of quantitative

Introduction Linear optimization is a mathematical method for determining a way to achieve the best outcome such as maximum profit or lowest cost in a given mathematical model for some list of requirements represented as linear relationships. Linear programming is a specific case of mathematical programming The Primary Purpose of the present investigation is to develop an interactive spreadsheet tool to aid in determining a maximum return function in 401K plan. In this paper‚ we discuss how the
