<p>What exactly does this major do? Anybody?</p>
<p>It is a specialty with computer science with some more emphasis is math. Here are terms to research: simulation, optimization, linear programming, least cost, traveling salesman.</p>
<p>Here are some questions that you could answer:
- Where should I locate my plant or warehouse to minimize shipping costs?
- What is the most effiecient way to route my delivery trucks to reduce travel time and fuel consumption?
- What is the least cost way to mix these raw materials to make a product?
- How could I schedule my work in a plant to minimize waste or reduce setup time etc.
Take a look at the solver in Microsoft Excel.</p>
<p>Thank you anotherdad3! I have decided not to take OR…lol… far from my passion</p>
<p>its very much like IE. I guess.
or am I wrong?</p>
<p>u’r right. Its very related to IE.</p>
<p>infact many IE schools offer OR courses during the junior and senior years.
some schools even have IEOR programs.</p>
<p>they’re basically the same thing.</p>
