Jay Adamsson Consulting
Every business or organization has a way of doing things. Ask yourself: What is done around here because it was always done that way? Or equivalently, what do my customers and/or clients do because it was always done that way? Or, how can I best implement these new ideas? Perhaps it is scheduling of employees, testing one out of every ten products on an assembly line, or finding the best location to position your resources.
Every business and organization is full of decisions such as these. In many cases, things are done in a particular way because they've always been done that way, or someone guessed at what they thought was the best way to do it.
But are you absolutely sure that you have found the best way?
If not, take a look at Jay Adamsson Consulting.

Bid Support
Accountability is the name of the game in government procurement. No longer does a company win a contract with red wine and steak dinners. Although that strategy may get you the ear of someone for a couple of hours, the final decision will be made only after a thorough process. Winning companies show that their product best meets the requirements of the purchaser. Making this link quantitatively is the strongest way to make your case
Remember, if you are not demonstrating that your product is the best one available, your competitor will be doing just that and you will spend your time trying to live up to their submission, instead of discussing your own.
Jay Adamsson Consulting can make the link between your product and the customer's requirements, showing quantitatively how your submission is superior.
Make all your competitors respond to your submission. Set the debate on your terms not theirs.

About OR
Operational Research (or equivalently Operations Research) is focused on helping make better decisions where complex systems are involved.
Operational Research as a specialty was originally developed during World War II, helping to make decisions concerning the tradeoffs between resources and effectiveness.
Although the foundation of Operational Research lies in Mathematics and Statistics, its practitioners now come from various fields such as Engineering, Economics, and Social Sciences.
In today's world, OR has been applied in varied areas, including:
- Defence
- Health care
- Transportation
- Communications
- Municipal emergency systems
- And many other areas
Operational Research practitioners model the real world, creating a mathematical facsimile of a complex system. The model can then be used to answer questions about the actual system.
Such an approach has numerous advantages:- Multiple solutions can be tried in the model without having to resort to expensive and time-consuming pilot projects and implementations.
- New solutions and optimizations can be developed that may not have been considered
- Unforeseen implications of planned changes can be revealed and analyzed
- Decision makers can obtain a better understanding of the underlying system and the interaction between its various components

Sample Projects
Maritime Vignette Simulation
What happens when two naval forces clash? How prepared is one fleet to confront an opposing force? The Maritime Vignette Simulation can model the result of the clash of two opposing forces without actually having to fire a shot.
Hospital Waiting Times
Who wants to wait when they need medical attention? Analyzing queues is a major application of Operational Research. A model of the transition of patients from the emergency department through admissions at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Charlottetown allows administrators to prepare for tomorrow without waiting for the next crisis.
Signal Processing Failure
What happens when a computer chip gets overloaded? How much of the signal gets through, and how much gets discarded? A mathematical analysis of the situation provides a set of equations that allow designers to optimize performance, or buyers to determine if their needs are met.
Vehicle Tests
New vehicles are introduced into the marketplace every year. In fact, there are more vehicles introduced than can be tested against safety standards. How do you choose the best vehicles to test? How many do you have to test? A mathematical risk analysis shows how select vehicles to optimize your impact.
