This paper examines the historical development of Operations Research (OR) and represents different OR methods (methodologies) developed during its lifetime. Then, considering Thomas Kuhn’s paradigm model of scientific development as a basis for our work, the former and current status of OR are analyzed and the future trend is discussed.
