Problems facing manufacturing clusters that intersect information
technology, process management, and optimization within the Internet of
Things (IoT) are examined in this book. Recent advances in information
technology have transformed the use of resources and data exchange,
often leading to management and optimization problems attributatble to
technology limitations and strong market competition. This book
discusses several problems and concepts which makes significant
connections in the areas of information sharing, organization
management, resource operations, and performance assessment.
Geared toward practitioners and researchers, this treatment deepens the
understanding between resource collaborative management and advanced
information technology. Those in manufacturing will utilize the numerous
mathematical models and methods offered to solve practical problems
related to cutting stock, supply chain scheduling, and inventory
management. Academics and students with a basic knowledge of
manufacturing, combinatorics, and linear programming will find that this
discussion widens the research area of resource collaborative management
and unites the fields of information technology, manufacturing
management, and optimization.
