The purpose of this document is to formalize the research and problem-solving activities of the U.S. Military Academy Operations Research Center for Excellence (ORCEN) for the upcoming academic year. The research plan includes a statement of purpose for the ORCEN, a description of its organization, a list of the key personnel responsible for executing the plan, and an overview of the annual research cycle. These are followed by a concise summary of each applied research or problem-solving project. The summary includes a problem statement, a proposed methodology for project execution, project requirements and deliverables, estimates of milestones, and the number of man-years required to complete the work. Additional information is provided on the senior investigator, principal analyst, the client organization, and points of contact. The ORCEN serves as the coordinating body for all research undertaken within the Department of Systems Engineering. As such, this plan encompasses a range of projects and work performed by ORCEN Analysts, Sr. and other Faculty members and Cadets alike. These research activities are opportunities to develop research and problem-solving skills while working on problems that are of importance to today's Army.
