Operation Research :

Operation Research has been defined as “the use of analytical techniques to define optimal processes of delivery, achieve better outcomes through evidence-based approaches, and provide more cost-effective care” (WHO, 2006; US Institute of Medicine, 2005).

It is an analytical method of problem-solving and decision making which can be used to find a solution to a problem in a real-world environment to improve the efficiency.(Fisher et al, 2002).
