I am heartily thankful to my course instructor Fateh h, whose encouragement, guidance and support from the initial to the final level enabled me to develop an understanding of the subject.
Abstract
Ultimately it will serve everybody with easier and flexible way. Operation research is the application of scientific method to problems of control and optimization, involving the control of organized (man-machine) systems, in order to provide solutions which best serve the purposes of the organisation as a whole. It relies heavily on computing in its deployment.

Introduction
Operations research, is a discipline that deals with the application of advanced analytical methods to help make better decisions it is often considered to be a sub-field of mathematics.
The terms management science and decision science are sometimes used as more modern- sounding synonyms. Employing techniques from other mathematical sciences, such as mathematical modeling, statistical analysis, and mathematical optimization, operations research arrives at optimal or near-optimal solutions to complex decision-making
