Abstract
Traditional operations research models for resource decision problems are often large-scale, dependent on large quantities of unreliable data, and implemented as ‘black-boxes’ that are inflexible and difficult to extend or modify. The assumptions on which such models are premised can change during the long lead-time required for their development. And, not infrequently, their overly-detailed prescriptions come into conflict with the intuitions and experience of decision makers for whom the models are intended.
