Supply Chain Engineering: Useful Methods and Techniques
by A. Dolgui and J.M. Proth
http://www.springer.com/engineering/production+eng/book/978-1-84996-016-8
This book considers how modern production and operations management (POM) techniques can respond to the pressures of the competitive global marketplace by integrating all the activities in supply chains, adding flexibility to the system, and drastically reducing production cost. Several challenges for POM are answered. This book proposes comprehensive analysis of concepts and models to choose outsourcing strategies, and dynamic pricing policies. Efficient inventory management techniques in Supply Chains, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies, as well as the methods for the design flexible and reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) are presented. A significant place is devoted to lean manufacturing, line balancing (assembly lines, U-lines, bucket brigades), dynamic facilities layout approaches and new warehousing techniques. Real-time assignment and scheduling methods are also developed.
This book is written for students and professors in industrial & systems engineering, management science, operations management, and business, as well as industrial managers looking to improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of their production systems. Readers will appreciate the way explanations are given using basic examples, providing detailed algorithms, while discarding complex and
unnecessary theoretical details. In addition, all the examples and in fact everything that is introduced has been carefully chosen taking into account eventual industrial application.
