Abstract

This paper explores the significant role of Decision Support Systems (DSS) within the field of Operations Research (OR). The integration of DSS in OR has revolutionized the decision-making process by providing advanced analytical tools and methodologies that aid in complex problem-solving. The paper delves into various applications of DSS in OR, illustrating how these systems assist in optimizing processes, reducing costs, and enhancing efficiency in different industries. Furthermore, it highlights recent innovations in DSS technology that have expanded their capabilities and applicability. The discussion includes case studies from various sectors, such as manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare, to showcase the effectiveness of DSS in real-world scenarios. The paper also examines the challenges faced by organizations in implementing DSS and proposes strategies for overcoming these obstacles. Overall, the paper emphasizes the importance of DSS in modern OR and outlines the potential for future advancements in this area.
