Accelerated computer evolution makes large-scale computation practical. Many enterprises are be- ginning to benefit from more efficient allocation of resources and more effective planning, scheduling, manufacturing, and distribution by adopting state-of-the- art decision support systems. Academics increasingly emphasize application- driven research. All these forces have moved optimization from a pure class- room and textbook terminology to an accepted tool in today's business world. This book chronicles and describes applications of combinatorial optimization in industry. A wide range of applications is included: manpower planning - production planning - job sequencing and scheduling - manufacturing layout design - facility planning - vehicle scheduling and routing - retail seasonal planning - I! space shuttle scheduling, and telecommunication network design . - The applications covered in this book comprise a representative set of industry sectors including electronics, airlines, manufacturing, tobacco, retail, telecom- munication, defense, and livestock. These examples should encourage opera- tions researchers and applied mathematicians by pointing out how the impor- tance and practicality of optimization is starting to be realized by the manage- ment of various organizations and how some pioneering developments in this field are beginning to bear fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45284029333655,"sku":"9780792350736","price":11017.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780792350736.webp?v=1769279964","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/industrial-applications-of-combinatorial-optimization-9780792350736","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
