Scheduling in Supply Chains Using Mixed Integer Programming

<b>A unified, systematic approach to applying mixed integer programming solutions to integrated scheduling in customer-driven supply chains</b><p>Supply chain management is a rapidly developing field, and the recent improvements in modeling, preprocessing, solution algorithms, and mixed integer programming (MIP) software have made it possible to solve large-scale MIP models of scheduling problems, especially integrated scheduling in supply chains. Featuring a unified and systematic presentation, <i>Scheduling in Supply Chains Using Mixed Integer Programming</i> provides state-of-the-art MIP modeling and solutions approaches, equipping readers with the knowledge and tools to model and solve real-world supply chain scheduling problems in make-to-order manufacturing.</p><p>Drawing upon the author''s own research, the book explores MIP approaches and examples-which are modeled on actual supply chain scheduling problems in high-tech industries-in three comprehensive sections:</p><ul><li><b>
