Founding

In December 1986, at the initiative of the San Miguel Corporation’s OR Department, a testimonial dinner called “A Toast to OR Professionals” was held at SMC’s Andres Soriano Executive Center. The event generated an enthusiastic exchange of ideas and culminated in the formation of a working committee tasked to define the organization that was to be the Operations Research Society of the Philippines. In February 1987, the committee presented the Constitution and By-Laws for approval by the initial batch of some 50 members, and the ORSP formally came into being. Since then, ORSP has been at the forefront of promoting the advancement and practice of OR in the Philippines.
