Exploratory Analysis - Using All the Tools in Our Kitbag

Abstract

A classic error in Operations Analysis is to use the tool we are most familiar with to solve every problem that comes our way. The better way is to assess each problem and design a methodology to solve the problem with whatever tools are most suitable. Exploratory Analysis is a methodology designed to solve a certain class of problems, using a whole range of tools: Human-in-the-loop wargaming * Simulation * Regression Analysis * Costing * Spreadsheet and Database Analyses * Mathematical Programming.
