Preferred term

systems analysis  

Definition

  • Systems analysis, sometimes referred to as operations research, is a bundle of analytical techniques used in both the civilian and military spheres to dissect problems and find cost-effective solutions. It is an extraordinarily powerful, egalitarian tool because it values mathematical and analytical rigor over personal experience, bureaucratic preferences, history, or current political fashion.
