The strategic importance of efficient Supply Chain Management is today fully recognized by top management. The total investment in inventories is enormous, and the control of capital tied up in raw material, work-in-progress, and finished goods offers an important potential for improvement. At...

Real problems are formulated into tractable mathematical models, which allow for an analysis of various approaches.Attention is focused on solutions.Provides a unified treatment of the models discussed , presents a critique of the existing results, and points out potential research directions.

The scope of this book is limited to heuristics, metaheuristics, and approximate methods and algorithms as applied to planning and scheduling problems. While it is not possible to give a comprehensive treatment of this topic in one book, the aim of this work is to provide the reader with a...
