I recently took a basic OR workshop titled "OR for Managers" where I gave students a bird's eye view of the potential of Operations Research in solving everyday business problems across a wide range of domains. Most of the sessions focussed on problem formulation and solution using excel solver. However, I didn't explicitly cover any algorithms/heuristics one usually attributes to a subject titled Operations Research. While the main reason was the paucity of time, I also believe that these algorithms are pretty standard and could be picked up from the ubiquitous online resources available. One such good resource is Introduction to Operations Research series of videos (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7EChoEITPjhoriOk-igVfQ/videos). This channel contains everything all the basic algorithms required to be known by anybody doing a first course in OR. However, if your requirement is specific i.e you want to know how to solve a specific type of problem without having to go through all the videos in the aforementioned channel here are a few links. I promised the students I would put together a list of useful and credible online resources so that they could "minimize" their search time! That will quickly give you a basic idea.
