Synopsis

Management   science  techniques  are  used  extensively   in   modern
engineering  industry to plan, organise and control  construction  and
manufacturing.  Management science is also referred to as  `operations
research'  and  utilises  quantitative analysis  to  assist  with  the
decision  making  process. In this unit several analytical  techniques
will  be  investigated including network analysis, project management,
linear  programming,  simulation and quality control.  Many  of  these
quantitative methods are used, not only in engineering production  and
project work, but also in the management of other processes.
