    Operations Research is a scientific approach used to arrive at optimal or near-optimal solutions to complex decision-making problems. It uses various analytical methods like mathematical modeling, statistics, and algorithms to arrive at solutions.

    Operations Research is used as a decision-making tool to help arrive at optimal solutions scientifically. It is used across various domains like defense, logistics, manufacturing etc.

    Operations Research is done by a team using various analytical techniques. It helps improve the quality of solutions but may not always result in a perfect solution. Models like deterministic and probabilistic are used.
