What is Operations Research?
Operations Research has been one of the known tools used for decision making in all aspects. But how does it really apply in our lives? Last October 23, 2018, ORSP UST held its annual OR Orientation entitled: OR101 at the TARC Auditorium from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Engineering students of different majors were invited and imparted with the impact Operations Research has in the society.
The project managers for this event were Patrick Magpantay, ORSP UST Director for Procurement, and Frances Eunice Ramos, ORSP UST Director for Community Affairs. The event started as ORSP UST Vice President, Lourd Rubis, gave his opening remarks.
The first speaker was Engr. Nestor R. Ong, PIE, ASEAN ENG. He is currently an Industrial Engineering professor and is the Deputy Director for for QS/THE Rankings at UST. He tackled how operations research is utilized in a company and how important it is for its overall performance. The second speaker was Engr. Christian John Immanuel S. Boydon. He is also currently an Industrial Engineering professor in University of the Philippines - Diliman. In his talk he discussed the different applications of operations research in the life of a student.
From this seminar we saw how Operations Research is applied not only in the corporate world but also in the normal decisions we make even as students. The event was concluded as Frances Eunice Ramos expressed their gratitude for the speakers and students in her closing remarks.
