The Operations Research Society of South Africa (ORSSA) is the national, professional body tasked with furthering the interests of those engaged in, or interested in, Operations Research (OR) activities. ORSSA is continually involved in matters which concern operations researchers, such as:
- organising conferences at which papers on OR-related topics are delivered;
- drawing up guidelines for OR education;
- presenting short courses on specialist topics in OR;
- marketing OR at secondary school level;
- providing information to the public on the nature of OR; and
- providing information to students at tertiary level on career opportunities in OR.
At a national level the Society is managed by an Executive Committee (EC), which is elected annually at an Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Society.
In the larger centres of the country, activities of the Society are arranged by regional chapters. Currently the Society consists of the following five regional chapters:
the Johannesburg Chapter,
the Pretoria Chapter,
the Vaal Triangle Chapter,
the Western Cape Chapter, and
the Kwazulu-Natal Chapter.
Seminars, workshops and panel discussions are arranged by these regional chapters on an annual basis. Case studies, theoretical work, new technology, etc. are typically presented and discussed at these get-togethers. OR is, of course, the main subject at these events, but topics in specific related areas of interest, such as statistics, decision support systems, expert systems, the management sciences and industrial engineering, are also covered. More information on the nature and activities of the regional chapters of ORSSA may be obtained by clicking on the tab Chapters in the navigation menu to the left.
