As the field of Supply Chain Management has matured, maintaining
the precise flow of goods to maintain schedules (hence, minimizing
inventories) on a just-in-time basis still remains as a major
challenge. This problem or challenge has resulted in a fair amount
of quantitative research in the area, producing an array of models
and algorithms to help ensure the precise flow of components and
final products into inventories to meet just-in-time requirements.
Just-in-Time Scheduling: Models and Algorithms for Real Time
Operating Systems is the first expository treatment surveying the
theoretical work on computer systems models and algorithms utilized
in just-in-time scheduling. With the impact of globalization and
supply chains on manufacturing, there are immense amounts of
material flowing through supply chains at any given time worldwide.
Therefore the scheduling of all the stages of material arriving at
different geographical points at precise times is a highly
significant problem. Moreover, the theoretical work in this area
has larger ramifications for operational scheduling in many
application areas. The scheduling models and algorithms presented
and illustrated in the book will be done so in the context of
extensive use of computer systems in a "real time context." The
"just-in-time" and "real-time" theoretical work in the book will be
of value and interest to many Engineers, Computer Scientists and
Operations Research/Management Science researchers, students and
practitioners. The book will survey and synthesize all the research
in this topical area.
