Quantitative Techniques And Operations Research

Quantitative techniques and operations research is a combined study of two subjects. The first one is Statistics for Management and another is Operations Research.

Statistics is a collection of methods for planning experiments, obtaining data, and then organizing, summarizing, presenting, analyzing, interpreting, and drawing conclusions.

Operations research is a scientific approach to problems solving and an analytical method of decision-making that is useful in the management of organizations.

In operations research, business problems are broken down into basic components and then solved in defined steps by mathematical analysis.
