Hierarchical Operations and Supply Chain Planning

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Hierarchical and Supply Chain Planning describes the application of hierarchical planning techniques to all major functional areas of supply chain planning, including production, distribution, warehousing, transportation, inventory management, forecasting and performance management.

The book reviews well-known, original hierarchical production planning techniques and implementations dating back several decades and numerous more current hierarchical planning methods and applications covering an array of supply chain activities. A number of novel hierarchical planning techniques and algorithms covering different components of supply chain planning are offered as is an original approach for integrating supply chain measurements into systems such as the balanced scorecard which evaluate total firm performance.

The book covers the interests of private industry practitioners, academic researchers, and students of operations, logistics and supply chain management and planning.

Rezensionen

Tan describes the application of hierarchical planning ideas and concepts across the supply chain... He does an excellent job of pulling together much of the literature on hierarchical planning, and he presents some new methods and algorithms as well. He writes clearly and makes good use of tables and diagrams to illustrate the hierarchical nature of the problems studied... I recommend this book for a variety of audiences: researchers interested in understanding the current state of hierarchical modelling applications, especially optimisation, in supply-chain management, practitioners interested in implementing specific supply-chain modelling applications, and professors interested in a supplemented, modeling-oriented text for their advanced classes in supply-chain, logistics, or operations management. Interfaces.
