| Abstract: | The implementation of "do it yourself" spreadsheets (DIY-SS) has become widespread in recent years. Although the interest of the non-specialist in creating SS is to be welcomed, this has led to concerns that many os these systems may not be "fit-for-purpose". The principal reasons for this are the inappropriate scope and focus of the SS and the lack of detailed verification that is carried out. With an appropriate framework to guide them, the OR professional therefore has an important new role to play in supporting DIY-SS by guiding the DIY developer. |
