Introduction


SAS/OR Software

SAS/OR software provides SAS procedures for operations research and project planning and includes a menu driven system for project management. SAS/OR software has features for the following:

  • solving transportation problems

  • linear, integer, and mixed-integer programming

  • nonlinear programming and optimization

  • scheduling projects

  • plotting Gantt charts

  • drawing network diagrams

  • solving optimal assignment problems

  • network flow programming

SAS/OR software might be of interest to users of SAS/ETS software for its mathematical programming features. In particular, the NLP and OPTMODEL procedures in SAS/OR software solve nonlinear programming problems and can be used for constrained and unconstrained maximization of user-defined likelihood functions.

See SAS/OR User's Guide: Mathematical Programming for more information.
