An Addendum to General Heiman's Remarks

Abstract

When as eminent an engineer as General Heiman calls the attention of civil engineers and the construction industry to Operations Research, I--as a practitioner of Operations Research--can only react enthusiastically and second his motions. Such motions are long overdue. The construction industry has been the slowest of the major American industries to avail itself of any type of research, let alone Operations Research. The census of Research and Development conducted by the National Science Foundation substantiates this assertion. What advances have been obtained in the industry through research have been largely due to materials and equipment manufacturers and not by the firms that design and construct. "Management Technology", ISSN 0542-4917, was published as a separate journal from 1960 to 1964. In 1965 it was merged into Management Science.
