Optmizaton Modeling for Supply Chain Applicatons

Haitao Li University of Missouri-St Louis, USA

Key Features

• ntroducton to optmi aton modeling (data driven Prescriptve nal tcs) using e amples and applicatons in suppl chains

• ocus on modeling techni ues on model building rather than soluton algorithms, which is o en the frst step in developing industr strength optmi aton tools and decision support s stems

• Comprehensive and s stematc treatment on widel applied data driven optmi aton techni ues linear programming, integer programming, network optmi aton and constraint programming

• pplicaton modules or the prominent suppl chain applicatons network design, producton planning, suppl chain confguraton, scheduling and routng

• Using the state o the art optmi aton so ware PL CPLE Studio allows readers to uickl appl and implement optmi aton or real li e problem solving

Descripton

How to design an efcient and cost-efectve logistcs network? How to plan procurement, producton, and transportaton to meet customer demand with minimum operatng costs How to se uence obs through machines or on tme order completon nd how to dispatch vehicles and schedule their routes to serve customers e cientl nswers to these uestons are ke to e ectve and e cient suppl chain operatons. his book provides a s stematc and comprehensive coverage o data driven optmi aton modeling techni ues and their applicatons in suppl chain management. rom the methodological perspectve, it introduces various model building techni ues including mathematcal programming (linear and integer programming), network optmi aton, and constraint programming. rom the applicaton perspectve, it covers the topics o suppl chain network design, producton planning, suppl chain confguraton, machine scheduling, and vehicle routng, among others. t also introduces the state o the art optmi aton modeling so ware, the CPLE PL Studio, as a power ul and accessible tool or implementng the modeling techni ues and soluton methods in this book. Sample codes will be available upon purchase o the book. his book is essental reading material or researchers and students in business, data anal tcs, industrial engineering, computer science and applied math who would like to learn optmi aton modeling in the conte t o suppl chains. t is also suitable or practtoners and consultants in industr who would like to understand the behind the scene techni ues in o the shel commercial optmi aton so ware. s a te tbook, it can be used or an advanced undergraduate or graduate course in suppl chain management, operatons management, data anal tcs, economics, and industrial engineering.
