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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gang Yu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0792350731\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780792350736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.88d","brand":"Gang Yu","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44201716089087,"sku":"9780792350736","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a69434a7-c691-4e2d-a270-1fc3cebe7bbf.jpg?v=1691490986","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/industrial-applications-of-combinatorial-optimization-gang-yu-9780792350736","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
