Operational research (OR) is the science of better decision-making.

Our vision is of a world improved by rigorous analysis and better, evidence-based decision-making.

We are a charity set up to advance knowledge, interest and education in OR. Our goal is to see operational research used and acknowledged widely in all areas of industry, business, government, the community and the third sector.
