Operations Research

Data Science, Analytics and AI/ML

Operations Research (OR) is an applied mathematical discipline that uses techniques like optimization, simulation, queuing theory, and statistical modeling to help organizations make better decisions about complex systems. It originated during World War II for military logistics planning and is now used in industries like airlines, logistics, and finance to solve problems such as scheduling, routing, and resource allocation. Operations researchers and data scientists apply OR methods, often via specialized software, to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
