Abstract
One of the fundamentals of Operational Research is the development of a model of a system. Normally in an industrial, government or military situation many related activities contribute to the successful operation of the organisation. The form of the interrelationship is often very complex and a model is an idealised representation of the interactions in the real state. Frequently it has been possible to express the connection between the different activities in a mathematical form. The construction of the representation is the ‘model building’ of Operational Research. This book is concerned with a particular type of mathematical representation which has proved to be a very valuable model of many industrial problems.
