Book Description
In a context of global competition, the optimization of logistics systems is inescapable. Logistics Systems: Design and Optimization falls within this perspective and presents twelve chapters that well illustrate the variety and the complexity of logistics activities. Each chapter is written by recognized researchers who have been commissioned to survey a specific topic or emerging area of logistics. The first chapter, by Riopel, Langevin, and Campbell, develops a framework for the entire book. It classifies logistics decisions and highlights the relevant linkages to logistics decisions. The intricacy of these linkages demonstrates how thoroughly the decisions are interrelated and underscores the complexity of managing logistics activities. Each of the chapters focus on quantitative methods for the design and optimization of logistics systems.
Supply Chain Optimization, Design, and Management: Advances and Intelligent Methods
Author: Minis, IoannisPublisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1615206345
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Computational Intelligence (CI) is a term corresponding to a new generation of algorithmic methodologies in artificial intelligence, which combines elements of learning, adaptation, evolution and approximate (fuzzy) reasoning to create programs that can be considered intelligent. Supply Chain Optimization, Design, and Management: Advances and Intelligent Methods presents computational intelligence methods for addressing supply chain issues. Emphasis is given to techniques that provide effective solutions to complex supply chain problems and exhibit superior performance to other methods of operations research.

Material Handling and Production Systems Modelling - based on Queuing Models
Author: Kai FurmansPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 9783540317746
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Queueing models were successfully applied for material handling and production systems. The book helps practitioners to understand the major influences for inventory and lead times. Stochastic effects are frequently disregarded when designing material handling or production systems. Cause and effects for response times are derived. Based on this knowledge it is possible to identify areas of improvement in material handling systems. The book bridges the gap between stochastic modelling and practical engineering by combining the theoretical background with modelling examples in several application domains. It is also a useful supplement in Masters and Ph.D. courses for students interested in engineering and operations management.

Languages : en
Pages : 726
Book Description
Dedicated to the proper design, layout, and location of facilities, this definitive textbook outlines the main design and operational problems that occur in manufacturing and service systems, explains the significance of facility design and planning problems, and describes how mathematical models can be used to help analyze and solve them. Combining theory with practice, this revised textbook presents state-of-the-art topics in materials handling, warehousing, and logistics along with real-world examples that emphasize the importance of modeling and analysis when determining a solution to complex facility design problems. Facilities Design, Fifth Edition includes a balanced coverage of modeling as well as applications of layout, materials handling, and warehousing. It presents automated materials handling along with queuing, queuing networks, and basic simulation modeling. The new edition introduces new material that includes topics such as supply chain designing and management, aggregate planning, and transportation, logistics, and distribution. The new edition will continue to provide access to available software and data files, as well as PowerPoint slides from the author’s own website www.facilitiesdesign.us. A solutions manual and figure slides are available for qualified textbooks adoptions. The book addresses facilities design and layout problems in manufacturing systems and covers layout, logistics, supply chain, aggregate planning, warehousing, and materials handling. The new edition continues to explain the ins and outs of facility planning and design and is an ideal textbook for students and a reference for professionals.
