5、ing models and techniques to support decision making. After the rst optimization models were developed, OR has substantially contributed in making transportation systems efficient and companies with complex transportation and logistics problems competitive. OR, as a system science, has captured the
6、complexities of problems and the interactions among parts of a system to improve the quality of decision making. The OR methods have been dependent on data availability and in most cases have relied on computers. The availability of more data and of more computational capacity have made the OR methods more powerful. Over the years, technology has evolved and the same has done OR.The internet, technological developments, the individual use of information and communication devices, the widesp
