Operations Research / Operations Analysis Orientation Course Curriculum for NATO Nations (Programme d'initiation a la recherche / l'analyse operationnelle pour les pays de l'OTAN)

Abstract

This study generates case study learning modules to demonstrate the value of analytical methods in various decision-making applications. The intended audience for these modules are non-analysts at the executive and flag officer decision-maker level. Military Operations Research (OR) or Operational Analysis (OA) is defined as the application of scientific methods to assist executive decision-makers, commanders, and their staffs in illuminating key issues related to evaluating alternatives in operational courses of action, logistics support, and procurement of forces, or assessing on-going operations. When applied successfully, OR/OA will almost always result in savings and increased efficiency or effectiveness or both. Knowledge of how the tools and techniques of OR/OA may be applied will help decision makers fully leverage their potential.
