| Tiivistelmä: | Skill in modeling is one of the keys to success in OR/MS practice. This has been recognized for many years, but we only give it lip service. Models are used in many ways in OR/MS practice. A few simple principles of modeling may be useful. The six principles discussed here cover simplicity versus complexity, model development as a gradual, almost piecemeal process; dividing larger models into smaller components; using analogies; proper uses of data; and finally the way in which the modeling process can seem chaotic. |
