Abstract: An object of operations research in business is to apply scientific methodology to the solution of management problems; in particular, the operations-research tool, simulation, in useful. In this paper the simulation employed in two engineering design problems is described, and it is shown that similar methods can be employed in two other management problems: estimation of costs and machine shop loading.
