The objective of this book is to provide a valuable compendium of
problems as a reference for undergraduate and graduate students,
faculty, researchers and practitioners of operations research and
management science. These problems can serve as a basis for the
development or study of assignments and exams. Also, they can be
useful as a guide for the first stage of the model formulation,
i.e. the definition of a problem. The book is divided into 11
chapters that address the following topics: Linear programming,
integer programming, non linear programming, network modeling,
inventory theory, queue theory, tree decision, game theory, dynamic
programming and markov processes. Readers are going to find a
considerable number of statements of operations research
applications for management decision-making. The solutions of these
problems are provided in a concise way although all topics start
with a more developed resolution. The proposed problems are based
on the research experience of the authors in real-world companies
so much as on the teaching experience of the authors in order to
develop exam problems for industrial engineering and business
administration studies.
Supply Chain Simulation allows readers to practice modeling and
simulating a multi-level supply chain. The chapters are a
combination of the practical and the theoretical, covering:
knowledge of simulation methods and techniques, the conceptual
framework of a typical supply chain, the main concepts of system
dynamics, and a set of practice problems with their corresponding
solutions. The problem set includes illustrations and graphs
relating to the simulation results of the Vensim (R) program, the
main code of which is also provided. The examples used are a
valuable simulation tool that can be modified and extended
according to user requirements. The objective of Supply Chain
Simulation is to meet the demands of supply chain simulation or
similar courses taught at the postgraduate level. The "what if"
analysis recreates different simulation scenarios to improve the
decision-making process in terms of supply chain performance,
making the book useful not only for postgraduate students, but also
for industrial practitioners.

This book is oriented towards applications and perspectives on
future developments connected to intelligent technologies.
Specifying topics connected to industry, mobility,
telecommunications, biomechanics, among others. The innovative
character of the text allows relating technical experiences and
advances that seek to improve the implication of new technologies
at local, national and regional levels, demonstrating the advances
towards the different fields of knowledge in the area of
engineering. The potential readers of this work would be master and
doctorate students, professors-researchers in the field of new
technologies and companies connected to the development of
engineering. The texts serve to illustrate new procedures, new
cases and new techniques for the optimization of systems that
optimize social progress.
