نبذه عن الكتاب:



Operations Research offers useful scientific methods/tools employed in planning and

management of agribusiness. This teaching manual has been prepared keeping in view the need

of the students and may serve as a help book to the postgraduate students of the discipline of

Agricultural Economics. An attempt has been made to illustrate various techniques like linear

programming, variable programming, integer programming, dynamic programming, non-linear

programming, quadratic programming, application of MOTAD model, game theory, inventory

management models, simulation models, Markov chain analysis and transportation problem.

All these techniques have been explained meticulously in simple language with illustrative

examples. Even beginner can understand these concepts with ease and apply in their research

and development fields.

An attempt has been made to present the solutions of the examples in and easy to understand

form. Another distinguishing feature of this manual is that different techniques/models have

been explained step wise so that the students may comprehends the methodology and

understand the technique.

This manual is based upon my teaching experience and application of operation research tools

in the field of research. It is hoped that the teaching manual will meet the need of faculty and

students. In a teaching manual of this mathematical nature, a few misprints or errors are likely

to have crept in and I shall be grateful for such notice and any suggestion for improvements

will be gratefully acknowledged.

I am thankful to Sh Ajay Kumar (SRF) and Sh. Vivek Sharma (Computer Assistant) who

helped me in typing this teaching manual
