- How many meals of each type of diet should one take in a month so as to minimise the cost of the meals while meeting the minimum requirements of proteins, carbohydrates and vitamins?
- How many tellers and how fast should they serve customers in a bank so as to keep the queues of customers below a given length within the budget of the operations of the bank?
- A group of HIV-positive friends live in different countries, and their issue at hand is which friend should communicate with which other friend in respect to a certain confidential message on HIV-and-AIDS so as to maximise the number of friends who receive the message within the given time period?
- How much sugar should a family buy and how often so as to meet the demand of sugar in the family at minimum overall costs, given the price-value, the cost of ordering and the cost of storing of the sugar in the family?
This first of the five substantive books of the series (like the other editions but with improvements) lays the epistemological foundation of ORMS. It introduces the basic concepts and techniques in the major sub-disciplines of the science Linear Optimisation Theory, Inventory Analysis, Queueing Theory and Network Analysis.
The presentation format in the book is optimised for costs minimisation. And the writing style is deliberately chosen to make the book virtually lecture ORMS techniques to the reader, whereby first [in the eBook version] we have the versatile Kindle-Create bookmarks for easy topics/tables/figures reference. Second [for both versions] the paragraphs are numbered and itemised [the lawyers’ style] for easy cross reference of concepts throughout the book, thereby eliminating the need for hyperlinks [whose use in this case would not be optimal]. Third the subject matter exposition is in such a way that the reader enjoys the knowledge and its applications without fear of numbers, mathematical formulae and figures; after all ORMS techniques deal with facts and not numbers nor figures!

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
