| classical OR Systems analysis and systems engineering are most appropriate for solving problems. It is taken as given that it is relatively easy to establish clear objectives for the system in which the problem resides so the context must be unitary. They then try to represent the system in a quantitative model which simulates its performance under different operational conditions something only possible if the system is simple and the context mechanical.
