Podrobnosti o e‑knize
Similar to operations management, project management employs an array of quantitative techniques while performing planning, scheduling, forecasting, and monitoring tasks. The main purpose of the quantitative approach is to make an optimal decision by using mathematical and statistical models in a situation when the probability of all outcomes is uncertain.Quantitative approach to decision-making produces the best results when the problem is clearly defined, several alternatives exist, and decision outcomes are easily measurable. However, in the case that many external factors are outside of the decision-maker's control and their probability is unknown, the quantitative methods can become unreliable.The purpose of this study Material is to present an introduction to the subjects of MBA Semester-I.
