The book presents new trends in modern production systems as well as the mathematical tools used to solve the problems arising in these new environments. The authors probe the particular difficulties faced during production, highlight the exact nature of the problem and define the criteria to be considered when solving design or management issues. Extensive discussions are devoted to linear programming, as the authors apply this method to the types of industrial problems that can be best treated with this kind of mathematical approach. An in-depth examination of Markov chains is included to aid in the evaluation of stochastic discrete systems, while separate and significant attention is paid to data analysis. The volume appeared in the series Competitive Methods in Operations Research and Data Analysis.
