Introduction
Terminology
The European people refer to “Operational
Research”, and the Americans refer to “Operations
research”. But both them are often shortened this
as “OR”.
Another term which is used for this field is
“management science”(“MS”). The Americans
sometimes combine the terms OR and MS together
and
The say “OR/MS”
another orsometimes
terms “ORMS”. used are “ industrial
engineering” (“IE”), “Decision
Science/Mathematics” (“DS”) and “problem
solving”.
