Applications of operational research in industry and industrialization in the developing countries: A review

S Datta and R Bandyopadhyay

Omega, 1994, vol. 22, issue 2, 173-184

Abstract: This review is concerned with problems of industry and industrialization in the developing countries where OR methods are used for their solution. A matrix showing the geographic regions of application and the techniques used is given for 230 selected articles published over the last two decades. The objective of the review is to examine the extent to which OR applications in these areas are relevant to the development problems of the developing countries and whether the existing techniques and methodologies are suitable to tackle such problems. Finally, the research gaps are identified and research efforts necessary to bridge these gaps are suggested.
