Recent Advances in Stochastic Operations Research


Book Description

Operations research uses quantitative models to analyze and predict the behavior of systems and to provide information for decision makers. Two key concepts in operations research are optimization and uncertainty. This volume consists of a collection of peer reviewed papers from the International Workshop on Recent Advances in Stochastic Operations Research (RASOR 2005), August 25OCo26, 2005, Canmore, Alberta, Canada. In particular, the book focusses on models in stochastic operations research, including queueing models, inventory models, financial engineering models, reliability models, and simulations models."

Operations Management in Agriculture


Book Description

Operations Management in Agriculture bridges the knowledge gap on operations management for agricultural machinery. It complements traditional topics (cost of using and choosing machinery) with advanced engineering approaches recently applied in agricultural machinery management (area coverage planning and sequential scheduling). The book covers new technologies in bio-production systems (robotics, IoT) and environmental compliance by employing a systems engineering perspective with focuses on sub-systems, including advanced optimization, supply chain systems, sustainability, autonomous vehicles and IT-driven decision-making. It will be a valuable resource for students studying decision-making and those working to improve the efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability of production through machinery choice. Covers agricultural machinery management related courses and a number of other courses within the agricultural engineering discipline Provides core tools for machine operations management, including machinery selection and cost of usage Presents current knowledge for agricultural machinery management in a science-based format




Operations Management


Book Description

Operation management focuses on the administration of business processes to improve availability, flexibility, efficiency, sustainability and transparency. Operation management integrates the business processes of production, services, and logistics, and it is important not only on the operational level of value chains but can also significantly influence the strategic and tactical level of production and service processes. This book offers a selection of chapters that explain the impact of operation management on value-making chains. It is designed to help students at all levels as well as managers and researchers to understand and appreciate the concept, design, and implementation of operation management.




Contemporary Issues and Research in Operations Management


Book Description

Operations management (OM) is the function concerned with the planning, design, implementation, and control of business operations in the production of goods and services. OM has expanded from its original factory-centric orientation to encompass the service industry and the respective, accompanying supply chains, with a broad, global range of applications, increasing reliance on quantitative analysis, and the development and the use of supporting computer-based information systems and technology. This book highlights some critical aspects and advances in the field of operations management. Topics covered include investigations in the area of sustainable supply chain management; the application of OM principles to the deployment of field laboratories to address epidemics; and novel approaches to applying operations management in response to increasingly diverse requirements, circumstances, and performance criteria.




Data Analytics for Supply Chain Networks


Book Description

The objective of the book is to adopt the application of data analytics to enhance the sustainability and resilience of the green supply chain networks. To demonstrate the applicability and usefulness of the method, the book adopts different data analytic models and approaches against the backdrop of case studies. In summary, this book attempts to address the question of methods, tools, and techniques that can be used to create resilient, anti-fragile, reliable, and invulnerable green supply chain networks.
