The Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences is an international scientific society dedicated to improving operational processes, decision-making, and management through the application of methods from science and mathematics. It is the largest society in the world for operations researchers, management scientists, and those working in related fields within engineering and the information, decision, mathematical, and social sciences.

The 12,000 members of INFORMS focus especially on analyzing and improving performance, effectiveness, and productivity in operating organizations - in business, the military, government, and elsewhere. Many are engaged in developing better analytical methods. The members include practitioners, researchers, educators, students, and executives. Over the years, a number of INFORMS members have been awarded the Nobel Prize in economics.

By offering a broad umbrella to those with similar analytic interests, INFORMS unites analytical specialists working in separate functional arenas such as production and operations management, finance, marketing, information systems, and general executive policy. It also unites analytical specialists working in different organizational sectors including the military, manufacturing, airlines, financial services, criminology and law enforcement, and governmental administration.

Research pioneers in operations research and the management sciences have contributed importantly to the store of technical methods now employed widely in engineering and science. Particularly well known are contributions to applied mathematics, including contributions to optimization, stochastic processes, simulation methods, and decision theory.

INFORMS was established in January 1995 by merging the Operations Research Society of America, founded in 1952, and The Institute of Management Sciences, founded in 1953.
