Supply Chain Optimization captures the latest results in a segment
of current research activity in supply chain management. This research
area focuses on applying optimization techniques to supply chain
management problems. The research papers that make up the volume provide
a snapshot of state-of-the-art optimization methods within the field.
This book presents rigorous modelling approaches for supply chain
operations problems with a goal of improving supply chain performance
(or the performance of some segment thereof). It contains high-quality
works from leading researchers in the field whose expertise fits within
this scope. The book provides a diverse blend of research topics and
novel modelling and solution approaches for difficult classes of supply
chain operations, planning, and design problems.
