Industries rely more and more on advanced technology. Accelerated
computer evolution makes large-scale computation practical. Many
enterprises are be ginning to benefit from more efficient
allocation of resources and more effective planning, scheduling,
manufacturing, and distribution by adopting state-of-the art
decision support systems. Academics increasingly emphasize
application driven research. All these forces have moved
optimization from a pure class room and textbook terminology to an
accepted tool in today's business world. This book chronicles and
describes applications of combinatorial optimization in industry. A
wide range of applications is included: manpower planning *
production planning * job sequencing and scheduling * manufacturing
layout design * facility planning * vehicle scheduling and routing
* retail seasonal planning * I! space shuttle scheduling, and
telecommunication network design . * The applications covered in
this book comprise a representative set of industry sectors
including electronics, airlines, manufacturing, tobacco, retail,
telecom munication, defense, and livestock. These examples should
encourage opera tions researchers and applied mathematicians by
pointing out how the impor tance and practicality of optimization
is starting to be realized by the manage ment of various
organizations and how some pioneering developments in this field
are beginning to bear fruit.
