Klappentext
This volume collects recent results in supply chain optimisation. It presents new approaches and methods based on operations research, artificial intelligence and advanced computing techniques for design of production systems, supply and inventory management, production planning and scheduling, location, transportation and logistics, and simulation in supply flow optimisation. The text presents a wide spectrum of optimisation problems taking into account supply chain paradigms, which are pivotal to improving productivity.
