Operations Research (OR) is a scientific approach to solving complex problems and making better decisions using mathematics, statistics, optimization, and data analysis. It helps organizations identify the most efficient way to allocate resources, reduce costs, improve productivity, and optimize processes. Today, Operations Research is widely applied in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, logistics, finance, and government to support smarter, data-driven decision-making.
