and a _summary_ as

so a _management summary_ is a brief description of an Operations Research problem, solution, analysis and conclusions to assist in the process of managing the system being considered.

Management summaries should contain the following information:

   1 Solution approach, brief description of the approach taken to solve the problem; 
   1 Results and analysis, brief presentation of the important results and any required or interesting analysis; 
   1 Conclusions and recommendations, brief description of any conclusions that may be drawn from the results and any recommendations for management.
*Note* All tables and figures must have labels and captions, e.g., *Figure 1* The American Steel Network, and must be referred to correctly, e.g., The American Steel network shown in Figure 1...
