Operations Research Supply Chain Management for Engineers

Data Mining Theories, Algorithms, and Examples

Samuel H. Huang

Nong Ye

University of Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

"This is an excellent book for graduate students, professionals, or consultants who want to learn the different methods of data mining. The template that the author used: theory, example, software, references are very effective and efficient in conveying the general idea. The detailed examples are extremely helpful."

Originally taught mainly in business schools, supply chain management has become a common elective and graduate course in engineering colleges. The increasing demand for engineers with supply chain knowledge has fed this shift. However, supply chain management textbooks that have a reasonable coverage of quantitative analysis techniques are few and far between. Concise, straightforward, and easy-to-read, Supply Chain Management for Engineers uses practical problems to introduce key concepts and cultivate students’ problem-solving skills. Helping students hone their analytical skills and develop the ability to solve real-world problems, the book: • Includes a simulation game for practicing supply chain management skills • Covers the use of practical software tools including Gurobi Optimizer and Microsoft EXCEL • Facilitates the use of problem-based learning (PBL) pedagogy • Provides a theoretical framework for supply chain design and supplier selection A solutions manual and figure slides are available upon qualifying course adoption

Quality Control & Reliability Engineering Optimization A Modern Approach Ranjan Ganguli Indian Institute of Sciences, Bangalore, India

The deployment of optimization techniques at the conceptual design stage of complex technical systems is no longer a desirable trait but an absolute necessity. This book provides a thorough understanding of the concepts of optimization necessary for a robust design of technical systems. The approach is from a modern perspective—it dwells on surrogate modelling and non-gradient-based algorithms and at the same time emphasizes classical methods for pedagogical reasons. It focuses on nonlinear optimization, responsesurface method and genetic-algorithm approaches to bridge the gap between nonlinear programming and engineering optimization techniques. The best way to learn optimization methods is undoubtedly by solving problems and following it up with exercises in computer programming. To enable this experience, the book has several solved examples, some of them nontrivial, besides many unsolved problems for the student to work out. • Focuses on non-linear optimization, response surface method, and genetic algorithm optimization studied by engineers • Bridges the gap between "nonlinear programming" studied by mathematicians and engineering • Provides a chapter on response surface methods with basis and examples

Ergonomics Laboratory Exercises

Fitting the Human Introduction to Ergonomics, Sixth Edition Karl H.E. Kroemer Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA

With an accessible layout that helps students grasp key concepts, this book delineates true human engineering, as opposed to trying to select or train people to do things with ill-designed equipment. Ergonomics guru Karl Kroemer organizes detailed knowledge regarding body size, strength, and mobility, as well as motivation, perceptions, acquired skills, and work demands including shift work. This sixth edition maintains the straightforward, lucid presentation of the previous editions, while updating the material to include coverage of work climate (both physical and psychosocial), material handling, electronic keyboards, and offices (at home and at the company) — factors that continually change the demands on the human not only in equipment but in the physical and social environments. With additional figures, graphs, and tables, this text remains the first choice for teaching the fundamental and most successful ergonomics approach: make the details and overall work system fit the human.

Most power engineers are not familiar with the electric safety practices governing site works or grounding practices of dwellings, hospitals, and factories. This book provides the knowledge and analysis they need to be versed on electric safety and, therefore, effectively transfer the skills to their field workers. It includes several case studies from real events and examples showing that variations in implementing electric safety procedures can create sites with various safety levels. As electric safety codes are similar everywhere, this practical book can be used worldwide.
