Focusing on innovative case studies and recent applications of Operations Research models and algorithms in African countries, each chapter highlights findings emerging from the countries in question and explains the lessons learned. As such, the book offers an up-to-date overview of Operations Research practices and developments in Africa. AFROS is a "not for profit" organization that aims to promote Operations Research in Africa. Its affairs are regulated by an Executive Committee consisting of representatives/alternates of all its member societies. The members of the Federation undertake to co-operate in the advancement of knowledge, interest and education in Operations Research by appropriate means, particularly the exchange of information, the holding of meetings and conferences, and the awarding of prizes. 001451130 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed November 16, 2022). 001451130 650_0 $$aOperations research$$vCongresses. 001451130 655_7 $$aConference papers and proceedings.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01423772 001451130 655_7 $$aConference papers and proceedings.$$2lcgft 001451130 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001451130 7001_ $$aMasri, Hatem,$$d1964-$$eeditor.$$1https://isni.org/isni/0000000458480836 001451130 7102_ $$aNorth-West University (South Africa),$$ehost institution.$$1https://isni.org/isni/0000000097692525 001451130 7112_ $$aAfrican Federation of Operations Research Societies,$$ehost institution. 001451130 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3031170075$$z9783031170072$$w(OCoLC)1342249578 001451130 830_0 $$aContributions to management science. 001451130 852__ $$bebk 001451130 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-17008-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001451130 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1451130$$pGLOBAL_SET 001451130 980__ $$aBIB 001451130 980__ $$aEBOOK 001451130 982__ $$aEbook 001451130 983__ $$aOnline 001451130 994__ $$a92$$bISE
