Operations Research Lecture Notes PDF FAQs

What is Operational Research ?

Operations research (OR) is an analytical method of problem-solving and decision-making that is useful in the management of organizations. In operations research, problems are broken down into basic components and then solved in defined steps by mathematical analysis.

What is Linear Programming ?

Linear programming is a powerful quantitative technique (or operational research technique) designs to solve allocation problem.

What are Decision Variables ?

The decision variables refer to the economic or physical quantities, which are competing with one another for sharing the given limited resources.

What is Objective function ?

The objective function of a linear programming problem is a linear function of the decision variable expressing the objective of the decision maker.

What are Constraints ?

The constraints indicate limitations on the resources, which are to be allocated among various decision variables.

What is non-negativity restriction ?

Non-negativity restriction indicates that all decision variables must take on values equal to or greater than zero

What is Divisibility ?

Divisibility means that the numerical values of the decision variables are continuous and not limited to integers.
