Abstract :
Operation research is one of the branches of mathematics that can enable people in numerous approaches by imparting medical technique to their actual life problems. It is no exception. Its roots are as old as science and society. The roots of operation research extend to even early 1800s. It is one of the branches of mathematics that can enable people in numerous approaches by imparting medical technique to their actual life problems. In 1950 operation research was introduced as a subject of academy study in American universities. Today the impact of operation research can be felt in many areas. This can be seen by the ever-increasing number of educational institutions offering the subject at degree level. Operation activities have spread to diverse fields such as hospitals, libraries, city planning, transportation system, crime investigation etc. Some of the Indian organization using operation technique like Indian Airlines, Railways, Defense Organization, Delhi cloth mills etc. Introduction Operations Research is an interdisciplinary branch of applied mathematics and formal science which makes use of strategies like mathematical modelling, algorithms, statistics and statistics to attain most reliable or near most beneficial answers to complicated conditions. Operations Research has also become an integral part of the Industrial Engineering profession. Operation research started just before World War II in Britain with the establishment of teams of scientists to study the strategic and tactical problems involved in military operations. The objective was to find the most effective utilization of limited military resources by the use of quantitative techniques. Operation Research is a relatively new discipline. The contents and the boundaries of the OR are not yet fixed. Operations Research tools are not from any one discipline. Operations Research takes tools from different discipline such as mathematics, statistics, economics, psychology, engineering etc. and combines these tools to make a new set of knowledge for decision making. Today, Operation research became a professional discipline which deals with the application of scientific methods for making decision. The main purpose of Operation research is to provide a rational basis for decisions making in the absence of complete information.
