| Abstract: | Experiences of an OR group in a large industrial organization, from 1981 to the middle of 1988, were described in a paper published in 1989. Much has changed since then: (1) having started as an internal staff department, the group has become an independent consultancy bureau, owing to the fact that the mother company returned to her key businesses; and (2) user-friendly software to apply OR techniques such as mathematical programming and discrete event simulation have become available on PC. |
