dc.description.abstract | I worked on modeling integrated steel plants in India (as an
analyst) and in the USA (as a doctoral student). The following
factors influence the success of OR/MS practice: positioning
the OR/MS team in operations, not in research and develop
ment; selecting the right problems; emphasizing problem solv
ing, not model building; learning from failures; the right aca
demic and practical training; and experience working on the
shop floor of a factory. Universities should teach OR as re
search into operations. | |
