1) Quantitative perspectives developed during World War 2 using mathematics, physics, and other sciences to help with war techniques like statistics, information models, and computer simulations. 2) It has two parts - management science which uses mathematics for decision making, and operation management which focuses on converting inputs to outputs with quality, customer service, and competition. 3) Key techniques include linear programming, game theory, sampling theory, probability theory, simulation, quality control, total quality management, just-in-time, and six sigma. Limitations include difficulty predicting human behavior and overemphasis on mathematics over other skills.

10. Contributions
• Development of sophisticated
technique
• Increased awareness &
understanding of complex
situation
• Useful in planning and controlling
process 1/8/2012

11. Limitations
Difficult to predict the human
behavior
General applicability in application
models
Mathematical sophistication may
come at the expense of other
managerial skill

12. Conclusion
•Thus quantitative mgmt
perspective is all about
quality control and
satisfying the customer.
