Disruption management - operations research between planning and execution

Jens Clausen, Jesper Larsen, Allan Larsen, Jesper Hansen

AbstractFor a large number of applications Operations Research has a proven
track record: it can deliver high quality solutions for planning
problems. Important examples can be found in the airline industry,
logistics and production management.

This report will describe real-world examples of a novel way of
applying Operations Research: As plans have to be adjusted to take
last minute changes into consideration, OR can play an active role in
such a situation by producing, maybe even in a pro-actively role,
alternative plans. This type of activity is called Disruption
Management.
