Overview
Mathematical forecasting
What is the application that helps make future projections that are useful in the planning process. Inventory modeling helps control inventories by mathematically establishing how much to order and when.
What is often used in mathematical techniques to analyze and solve management problems.
Queuing theory
What is the application that helps allocate service personnel or workstations to minimize customer waiting time and service cost.
What is...
1) problem is encountered
2) It is systematically analyzed
3) Appropriate mathematical models and computations are applied
4) An optimum solution is identified
What create models of problems so different solutions under various assumptions can be tested.
