Operations Research???

<p>What exactly does this major do? Anybody?</p>

<p>It is a specialty with computer science with some more emphasis is math. Here are terms to research: simulation, optimization, linear programming, least cost, traveling salesman.</p>

<p>Here are some questions that you could answer:
1. Where should I locate my plant or warehouse to minimize shipping costs?
2. What is the most effiecient way to route my delivery trucks to reduce travel time and fuel consumption?
3. What is the least cost way to mix these raw materials to make a product?
4. How could I schedule my work in a plant to minimize waste or reduce setup time etc.
Take a look at the solver in Microsoft Excel.</p>

<p>Thank you anotherdad3! I have decided not to take OR..lol... far from my passion</p>

<p>its very much like IE. I guess.
or am I wrong?</p>

<p>u'r right. Its very related to IE.</p>

<p>infact many IE schools offer OR courses during the junior and senior years.
some schools even have IEOR programs.</p>

<p>they're basically the same thing.</p>
