Published: March 2020

As the global environment becomes most competitive, Operations Research has gained significance in applications like world - class Manufacturing systems (WCM), Lean production, six - sigma quality management, Benchmarking, Just – in - Time (JIT) inventory techniques. The growth of global markets and the resulting increase in competition have highlighted the need for Operation Research. To survive and lead the today‘s highly competitive and demand drivenmarket, pressure is on management to make economic decisions. One of the essential managerial skills is ability to allocate and utilize resources appropriately in the efforts of achieving the optimal performance efficiently. In some cases such as small - scale low complexity environment, decision based on intuition with minimal quantitative basis may be reasonably acceptable and practical in achieving the goal of the organization. However, for a large - scale system, both quantitative and qualitative (i.e. intuition, experience, common sense) analyses are required to make the most economical decisions. Using Operations Research techniques including Linear Programming, Discrete Event Simulation and Queuing Theory, organization leaders can make high quality decisions. Operations managers are not expected to be experts in any decision science tools; however, he or she must have fundamental knowledge of such tools to acquire right resources and to make the most economically sounding decisions for the company as a whole. Present paper is an attempt to study the importance of Operations research and various techniques used to improve the operational efficiency of the organization.

In India, Civil registration was initiated under the registration of births and deaths act,1969 to give reliable estimates of fertility and mortality situation for the nation up to the lowest administrative levels, but due to its inadequate and underreporting, still the Sample Registration System is used to generate reliable indicators of fertility and mortality. In this paper, an attempt is made to compute certain indicators from the civil registration system for the period of 2001-14 in the State of Rajasthan, India. The major SDG indicators of goal 3 of ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages; targets 3.1 (By 2030, reduce the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births) and 3.2 (By 2030, end preventable deaths of newborns and children under 5 years of age, with all countries aiming to reduce neonatal mortality to at least as low as 12 per 1,000 live births and under-5 mortality to at least as low as 25 per 1,000 live births) with indicators of Under-five Mortality Rate (indicator 3.2.1) and Maternal Mortality Ratio (indicator 3.1.1) and other fertility and mortality indicators can be computed, if certain denominator bases are available every year. As the civil registration data has not been classified by the place of residence, it is not strictly comparable to SRS figures. But it has been presented here so as to serve as an indication and for the improvement of the system for generation of reliable vital rates at subnational levels using civil registration data, which is the need of the day for planning purposes for programme managers and policy makers.

Authors: Galadima Mukhtar Danladi , Aminu Abubakar Wambai
Published: March 2020

This paper examines the Presence of Nonlinear Relationship between Natural Gas Consumption and Economic Growth in Nigeria from 1981 to 2015. The Ramsey Reset test,Incremental F-test, and Wald test have been employed to test for non-linearity in the relationship between natural gas consumption and economic growth in Nigeria. The nonlinearity test results revealed that the relationship is nonlinear. However, the results are suggestive of the fact that linear models might not be the appropriate statistical tools for estimating the relationship between natural gas consumption and economic growth in Nigeria. Therefore, the paper recommends that the Nigeria’s policymakers consider taking into cognizance nonlinear modeling techniques as alternative tools for modeling, estimating and forecasting the relationship between natural gas consumption and economic growth in the country.
