SAS/OR software provides SAS procedures for operations research and project planning and includes a point-and-click interface to project management. Its capabilities include the following:

• solving transportation problems

• linear, integer, and mixed-integer programming

• nonlinear programming

• scheduling projects

• plotting Gantt charts

• drawing network diagrams

• solving optimal assignment problems

• network flow programming

SAS/OR software might be of interest to users of SAS/STAT software for its mathematical programming features. In particular, the NLP procedure in SAS/OR software solves nonlinear programming problems, and it can be used for constrained and unconstrained maximization of user-defined likelihood functions.
