Introduction to Computational Optimization Models for Production Planning in a Supply Chain (2006)Hardcover - 2006, 16 January 2006

The book begins with a lucid introduction to elements that underlie optimization models for production planning. These concepts are then applied to well-known planning models, namely mrp and MRP II. From this foundation are developed fairly sophisticated models for supply chain management. Coverage includes explicit examples of implementation of the basic models using a variety of popular, commercially available modeling languages. The new edition is updated and contains new results.
