Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis for Industrial Engineering

Methodology and Applications

Beschreibung

This adv. undergraduate and graduate textbook prepares the industrial engineering student on how to deal with a variety of problems that require making decisions involving multiple criteria and/or uncertainty/risk. This book is designed for students who are studying industrial engineering, but it could also be used in programs designed for business/mgmt. as well. Comprehensive in coverage and related areas such as simulation optimization. It also emphasis applications involving industrial engineering, engineering economics, location and layout design, quality mgmt., project mgmt., healthcare mgmt. & operations, and the use of simulation for system design & operations in general.
