Croatian Operational Research Society (CRORS) has been established in 1991. as the only scientific society in Croatia specialized in operational research. The Society has nearly 100 members and its main objectives are promoting operational research in Croatia and organizing International Conference on Operational Research (KOI).
Operational Research (OR) is an interdisciplinary scientific branch of applied mathematics that uses methods such as mathematical modeling, statistics, and algorithms to achieve optimal or near optimal solutions to complex problems. It is typically concerned with optimizing the maxima or minima of some objective function. Operations research generally helps management to achieve its goals using scientific methods. Some of the primary tools used by operations researchers are statistics, optimization, probability theory, queuing theory, game theory, graph theory, decision analysis, and simulation.
The International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS) is an umbrella organization comprising the national Operations Research societies of over forty five countries from four geographical regions: Asia, Europe, North America and South America. Topics of applications in which operations research are used can be summarized as follows:
