Description
Book SynopsisApplications of Management Science is a blind refereed refereed series. Each annual volume presents current studies in the application of management science to the solution of significant managerial decision-making problems. Authors investigate solutions to managerial decision-making problems using management science methodologies. In this volume, the first section is focused on multi-criteria decision applications, the second section on supply chain management and finally authors look at productivity analysis. Thus this volume will be of significant interest to those involved in the applications of these methods, in a realistic managerial problem solving environment through the use of state of the art management science modeling.
Trade ReviewNine studies in this year's volume cover multi-criteria optimization, applications of optimization, and supply chain management. Among specific topics are multi-objective traveling salesman and transportation problems with environmental aspects, selecting multi-criteria green vehicle routing problems, optimal process parameters for multiple characteristics with several objectives, an integer programming solution to the folding carton printing plate layout problem, and coordinating supply chains with fairness concerns using option contracts. -- Annotation ©2017 Ringgold Inc. * (protoview.com) *
