Adopt operations research in tackling management problems, experts advise

Against the backdrop that the challenges faced by today’s government agencies and private businesses in Nigeria are many and varied, experts have called on public and private sectors’ managers to adopt operations research as an efficient way of tackling these problems.

According to Akingbade Funsho, president and chairman of council of Institute For Operations Research of Nigeria (INFORN) and former dean of Business and Social Sciences, University of Lagos (UNILAG), operations research is a discipline that can be applied in virtually every area of business and government such as in health care, manufacturing, finance, city planning, judiciary, defence, entertainment, among others.
