Introduction

The course Operations Research contains some important Operations Research Techniques and their applications to solve problems of different Managerial Situations. Every Chapter of this course aims at the basic concepts of the features of the Problems, their model formulations and solution techniques and illustration of those concepts by considering different numerical examples. This has be designed in such a way that this will not only give an idea about the concepts and approaches of different important Optimization Techniques, this will also give their appropriate used to solve different relevant decision making problems. Throughout the course only the deterministic nature of the problems will be considered
