EVALUATION
You are an operations analyst at an important company that has been in business for more than five
years, both nationally and internationally, and they tell you that, due to a
restructuring in the company, one of the main models has been updated from the
next form: Maximum: x+y
Subject to x + 2y > 4
x>0
y>0
Let x and y be the decision variables, x + 2y > 4, x > 0 and y > 0 are the constraints, where the two
the last are called nature of variables, that is, their domain. Finally,
Maximizing x+y is the objective function.
It is worth noting that we only reached the model construction stage, as to continue to
the following phases required your approval.
Next, answer the following questions:
1. What type of operations research model is presented in this company?
Foundations according to the contents developed in the week.
The type of operations research model that can be represented in this
organization according to the contents of the week, is represented by the following
scheme of the presented model:
Función objetivo: Máximo de x+y
Constraints: these represent the set of requirements that this problem must meet.
so that its development can take place. In this case, the following are available:
x + 2y > 4
x>0
y>0
Decision variables: they are the set of unknowns that must be controlled, in this case
they represent decision variables that are necessary for making comparisons and
optimization of alternative scenarios such as those presented in the proposed situation,
in this case, there are the following: X and Y.
The usefulness of each of these elements in operations research models
can be reflected by the objective function, which is responsible for representing what is
wants to maximize or minimize, therefore the present problem is one of maximization
(maximize the sum of X+Y), in order to make assertive decisions according to the
results achieved.
Based on each of the previous statements, it can be said that the type of model
of operations that is presented is a mathematical model, since it is represented by a
formula, uses variables, objective function, constraints and mathematical symbolism.
It plays a fundamental role in operations research, as they allow for giving
responses to different problematic situations and can be used in modeling of
transportation, production, allocation, among others. Similarly, this type of representations
it can be applied in different methodologies of linear programming, software with

specialized functions, heuristic models and other methodologies.
2. Create a diagram considering the guidelines (elements) of the presented model.
Also comment on what you think is the usefulness of these elements in the models of
operations research applied in organizations?
The scheme that can be developed considering the guidelines of the presented model,
it's the following:
1. Definition of the problem: it is necessary to identify and define the issue precisely.
what requires a solution, that is, the objectives and scope that it has are shown

2. Data collection: All necessary information must be taken into account.
to analyze the presented problem, it is necessary to take data into account
historical data, statistics, conducting surveys, interviews, among other data collection techniques
information.
3. Mathematical modeling: consists of creating a mathematical model that is capable of
to formally represent the presented situation, it is necessary to make use of
equations, variables and constraints that are related or immersed within the
problematic situations with the aim of determining how each of these are linked
elements.
4. Analysis and resolution: during this stage, different techniques and methods must be employed.
mathematics that allow analyzing the presented model with the objective of showing or
determine the most correct solution to the presented problem, within these techniques there
they can mention those in the field of optimization, simulation, linear programming,
among others that are fundamental.
5. Validation and verification: within this stage, the validity and level must be verified.
effectiveness of the solution that has been determined, for this there is a need to conduct tests
that allow comparing the results obtained with the objectives that have been established.
6. Implementation and monitoring: at the time of finding the solution to the problem
presented, monitoring and control must be carried out to evaluate the behavior of

Next, it is important to note the usefulness of each of these elements within
from the operations research models, it can be evidenced as follows
