Operational Research Society of India


One of the major one in  India is  Operational Research Society of India.
It was  founded in 1957 to provide a forum for the Operational Research
Scientists as  well as an avenue to widen their horizon by exchange 
of knowledge and application of techniques from outside the country. 
To further that end, the Society is affiliated to the International
 Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS).


The headquarters of the Society is located in Kolkata at 39, 
Mahanirvan Road, Kolkata 700029, India. At present the Society has 
twelve operating chapters 
Jamshedpur, Kolkata, Madurai,Mumbai and Tirupati. The objectives of
 the Society comprise advancement of, conducting of research in, study of, 
promotion and propagation of knowledge in Operational Research and
 allied techniques through exchange of information, establishment and 
maintenance of professional and academic standards of work known
 as Operational Research, improvement of methods and techniques
 of Operational Research, publishing professional journals and conducting
 professional examinations.

The Society publishes a quarterly journal OPSEARCH, which brings out high 
quality and state of the art papers in Operational Research. The journal
 enjoys a wide spectrum of readership both in the India and aboard covering 
academics, professionals as well as industrial / service sector organisations.

Big-M Method and Two-Phase Method

Big-M Method The Big-M method of handling instances with artificial  variables is the “commonsense approach”. Essentially, the notion is to make the artificial variables, through their coefficients in the objective function, so costly or unprofitable that any feasible solution to the real problem would be preferred, unless the original instance possessed no feasible solutions at all. But this means that we need to assign, in the objective function, coefficients to the artificial variables that are either very small (maximization problem) or very large (minimization problem); whatever this value,let us call it Big M . In fact, this notion is an old trick in optimization in general; we  simply associate a penalty value with variables that we do not want to be part of an ultimate solution(unless such an outcome is unavoidable). Indeed, the penalty is so costly that unless any of the  respective variables' inclusion is warranted algorithmically, such variables will ...
