Optimization Models and Concepts in Production Management

Front Cover
CRC Press, Apr 13, 1995 - Mathematics - 339 pages
Optimization techniques in production management are becoming increasingly important for efficient and competitive manufacturing. This book presents a collection of tutorial papers by outstanding researchers on the application of optimization concepts. Topics introduced include hierarchical production planning and large scale scheduling, optimal production control, exact and heuristic algorithms for production scheduling and stochastic modelling.
