OR-AS

Most members of OR&S work closely together with OR-AS. OR-AS develops Applications and Solutions in the domain of Operations Research and relies on a approach which is a well-balanced combination between academic and theoretical knowledge and practical experience. The OR-AS methodolgy consists of a well-considered combination of data analysis, simulation and optimization using state-of-the-art tools and techniques, and hence, follows a similar approach than the research done at the OR&S group.

The OR-AS activities are mainly focused on Project Management (PM) activities, including project scheduling, risk analysis and project control. The following two figures contain a summary of the promotional leaflets for 8 different PM related topics (The individual leaflets can be downloaded from the internet), including a reference to the OR&S site. The two-pages leaflet is copyrighted by OR-AS who is responsible for most of the results mentioned below and aims at integrating research and academic knowledge with practice and business results.
