Effective Resource Management in Manufacturing Systems: Optimization Algorithms for Production Planning
Mayelana nale ebook
This book provides robust methods for achieving effective resource allocation. It also solves problems such as resource levelling, sizing of machines and production layouts, cost optimization in production planning and scheduling that occur daily and often generate cost overruns. The quantitative methods used cover both mathematical programming and algorithms, leading to high quality solutions. Details of experimentation put these techniques in a practical perspective.
This book is a valuable resource for postgraduate students and researchers in business, engineering or computer science.
