LIKE NEW: This book is in excellent, like-new condition. The CD-ROM has not been used as it is enclosed in a sealed plastic envelope affixed to the inside back cover. The book was printed on acid-free paper.Product Details
From the back cover: "The books consists of three parts. The first part focuses on deterministic scheduling with the associated combinational problems. The second part covers probabilistic scheduling models. In this part it is assumed that processing times and other problem data are not known in advance. The third part deals with scheduling in practice. It covers heuristics that are popular with practitioners and discusses design and developmental issues."Each chapter contains a series of computational and theoretical exercises.
"This book is of interest to theoreticians and practitioners alike. Graduate students in operations management, operations research, industrial engineering, and computer science will find the book to be an accessible and invaluable resource. Scheduling will serve as an essential reference for professionals working on scheduling problems in manufacturing and computing environments."
