? What are the major problems in the operating departments in handling, updating and evaluating the volume of business information and data into the records and into statistical compilations.

? What are the calculations required for engineering solutions of research and design, for recording the design in machine language in place of conventional drawings.

? What is the information required by manufacturing to determine the requirements and control the raw, in process and finished stock, to control the number of people required.

? What are the problems in connection with market research. market and sales forecasting to provide level production rates and optimum product mix.

? Are models simulating a business practical for management to use in the day to day operation of a business.
