Operations Research and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis Group

 

The research group is committed to encouraging and stimulating the rational use of data in decision-making, planning and research, both in the public and private sectors.

We offer:

  • advice on the application of appropriate techniques of statistics, operations research and econometrics;
  • seminars and short courses on these techniques;
  • in-house courses at the request of specific client institutions;
  • software development and evaluation.

Some of the practical applications with which individuals from the group have been involved include1:
  • An evaluation of the fisheries rights allocation process in South Africa (in progress).
  • An evaluation of the City of Cape Town's water supply and demand management options phase2d22.doc
  • A preliminary evaluation of the proposed expansion of the Baviaanskloof Wilderness Area bavpfinal2.doc
