Abstract: The following is the sixth in a series of articles on the principles of operations research by Robert Machol, past president of ORSA, which were formerly published on a regular basis in OR/SA Today . As the ready will note, these are somewhat different from similarly titled subjects in the usual textbooks. In this text the Screwdriver Syndrome---another term for a solution looking for a problem---is discussed.
