The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

3. WHAT IS OR?
• Operations research (OR) is a discipline explicitly devoted to aiding
decision makers. This section reviews the terminology of OR, a
process for addressing practical decision problems and the relation
between Excel models and OR
4. MODELS OF OR
• Linear Programming
• Network Flow Programming
• Integer Programming
• Nonlinear Programming
• Dynamic Programming
• Stochastic Programming
• Combinatorial Optimization
• Stochastic Processes
• Discrete Time Markov Chains
• Continuous Time Markov Chains
• Queuing
• Simulation
5. LINEAR PROGRAMMING
• A typical mathematical program consists of a single objective function, representing either a profit to
be maximized or a cost to be minimized, and a set of constraints that circumscribe the decision
variables.
• In the case of a linear program (LP) the objective function and constraints are all linear functions of
the decision variables.
• At first glance these restrictions would seem to limit the scope of the LP model, but this is hardly the
case. Because of its simplicity, software has been developed that is capable of solving problems
containing millions of variables and tens of thousands of constraints.
• Countless real-world applications have been successfully modeled and solved using linear
programming techniques.
6. NETWORK FLOW PROGRAMMING
• The term network flow program describes a type of model that is a special case of the more general
linear program.
• The class of network flow programs includes such problems as the transportation problem, the
assignment problem, the shortest path problem, the maximum flow problem, the pure minimum cost
flow problem, and the generalized minimum cost flow problem.
• It is an important class because many aspects of actual situations are readily recognized as networks
and the representation of the model is much more compact than the general linear program.
• When a situation can be entirely modelled as a network, very efficient algorithms exist for the solution
of the optimization problem, many times more efficient than linear programming in the utilization of
computer time and space resources.
7. INTEGER PROGRAMMING
• Integer programming is concerned with optimization problems in which some of the variables are
required to take on discrete values.
• Rather than allow a variable to assume all real values in a given range, only predetermined discrete
values within the range are permitted. In most cases, these values are the integers, giving rise to the
name of this class of models.
8. NONLINEAR PROGRAMMING
• When expressions defining the objective function or constraints of an optimization model are not
linear, one has a nonlinear programming model.
• The class of situations appropriate for nonlinear programming is much larger than the class for
linear programming. Indeed it can be argued that all linear expressions are really approximations
for nonlinear ones.
• Since nonlinear functions can assume such a wide variety of functional forms, there are many
different classes of nonlinear programming models.
• The specific form has much to do with how easily the problem is solve, but in general a nonlinear
programming model is much more difficult to solve than a similarly sized linear programming
model.
9. DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING
• Dynamic programming (DP) models are represented in a different way than other mathematical
programming models.
• Rather than an objective function and constraints, a DP model describes a process in terms of states,
decisions, transitions and returns.
• The process begins in some initial state where a decision is made. The decision causes a transition to a
new state.
• Based on the starting state, ending state and decision a return is realized.
• The process continues through a sequence of states until finally a final state is reached. The problem is
to find the sequence that maximizes the total return.
10. STOCHASTIC PROGRAMMING
• The mathematical programming models, such as linear programming, network flow programming and
integer programming generally neglect the effects of uncertainty and assume that the results of
decisions are predictable and deterministic.
• This abstraction of reality allows large and complex decision problems to be modeled and solved using
powerful computational methods.
11. COMBINATORIAL OPTIMIZATION
• The most general type of optimization problem and one that is applicable to most spreadsheet models
is the combinatorial optimization problem.
• Many spreadsheet models contain variables and compute measures of effectiveness.
• The spreadsheet user often changes the variables in an unstructured way to look for the solution that
obtains the greatest or least of the measure.
• In the words of OR, the analyst is searching for the solution that optimizes an objective function, the
measure of effectiveness.
• Combinatorial optimization provides tools for automating the search for good solutions and can be of
great value for spreadsheet applications.
12. STOCHASTIC PROCESSES
• The model is described in part by enumerating the states in which the system can be found.
• The state is like a snapshot of the system at a point in time that describes the attributes of the system.
• The example for this section is an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) system and the state is the number
of customers at or waiting for the machine. Time is the linear measure through which the system
moves. Events occur that change the state of the system. For the ATM example the events are arrivals
and departures.
13. DISCRETE TIME MARKOV CHAINS
• the stochastic process can be described by a matrix which gives the probabilities of moving to each
state from every other state in one time interval.
• Assuming this matrix is unchanging with time, the process is called a Discrete Time Markov Chain
(DTMC).
• Computational techniques are available to compute a variety of system measures that can be used to
analyze and evaluate a DTMC model.
• This section illustrates how to construct a model of this type and the measures that are available.
14. CONTINUOUS TIME MARKOV CHAINS
• Time is a continuous parameter.
• The process satisfies the Markovian property and is called a Continuous Time Markov Chain (CTMC).
• The process is entirely described by a matrix showing the rate of transition from each state to every
other state.
• The rates are the parameters of the associated exponential distributions. The analytical results are very
similar to those of a DTMC.
• The ATM example is continued with illustrations of the elements of the model and the statistical
measures that can be obtained from it.
15. QUEUING
• This situation is almost always guaranteed to occur at some time in any system that has probabilistic
arrival and service patterns.
• Tradeoffs between the cost of increasing service capacity and the cost of waiting customers prevent an
easy solution to the design problem.
• If the cost of expanding a service facility were no object, then theoretically, enough servers could be
provided to handle all arriving customers without delay.
• In reality, though, a reduction in the service capacity results in a concurrent increase in the cost
associated with waiting. The basic objective in most queuing models is to achieve a balance between
these costs.
16. SIMULATION
• When a situation is affected by random variables it is often difficult to obtain closed form equations
that can be used for evaluation.
• Simulation is a very general technique for estimating statistical measures of complex systems.
• A system is modeled as if the random variables were known. Then values for the variables are drawn
randomly from their known probability distributions.
• Each replication gives one observation of the system response. By simulating a system in this fashion for
many replications and recording the responses, one can compute statistics concerning the results.
• The statistics are used for evaluation and design.
18. BETTER SYSTEMS:
• OR could be very effective in handling issues of :
• inventory planning and scheduling.
• production planning.
• Transportation.
• financial d revenue management .
• risk management.
• Basically, OR could be used in any situation where improvements in the productivity of
the business are of paramount importance.
19. BETTER CONTROL:
• With OR, organizations are greatly relieved from the burden of supervision of all the routine and
mundane tasks.
• The problem areas are identified analytically and quantitatively.
• Tasks such as scheduling and replenishment of inventories benefit immensely from OR.
20. BETTER DECISIONS:
• OR is used for analyzing problems of decision making in a superior fashion.
• The organization can decide on factors such as sequencing of jobs, production scheduling and
replacements.
• Also the organization can take a call on whether or not to introduce new products or open new
factories on the basis of a good OR plan.
21. BETTER CO-ORDINATION:
• Various departments in the organization can be coordinated well with suitable OR.
• An operations-research-oriented planning model helps in coordinating different divisions of a company.
• facilitates smooth functioning for the entire organization.
• With OR, any organization follows a systematic approach for the conduct of its business.
• OR essentially emphasizes the use of computers in decision making.
• hence the chances of errors are minimum.
23. DEPENDENCE ON AN ELECTRONIC COMPUTER:
• O.R. techniques try to find out an optimal solution taking into account all the factors.
• In the modern society, these factors are enormous and expressing them in quantity and establishing
relationships among these require voluminous calculations that can only be handled by computers. -
24. NON-QUANTIFIABLE FACTORS:
• O.R. techniques provide a solution only when all the elements related to a problem can be quantified.
• All relevant variables do not lend themselves to quantification.
• Factors that cannot be quantified find no place in O.R. models
25. DISTANCE BETWEEN MANAGER AND OPERATIONS
RESEARCHER:
• O.R. being specialist's job requires a mathematician or a statistician, who might not be aware of the
business problems.
• Similarly, a manager fails to understand the complex working of O.R.
• Thus, there is a gap between the two.
26. MONEY AND TIME COSTS:
• When the basic data are subjected to frequent changes, incorporating them into the O.R. models is a
costly affair.
• Moreover, a fairly good solution at present may be more desirable than a perfect O.R. solution available
after sometime.
27. IMPLEMENTATION:
• Implementation of decisions is a delicate task.
• It must take into account the complexities of human relations and behaviour.
