Analytical Performance Models For Material Control Strategies In Manufacturing Systems

Industrial Engineering Strategy for Constructive Technologies

There is an urgent need to develop robust strategies to respond to and leverage new and emerging technologies, particularly those based on artificial intelligence (AI). Industrial engineering’s systems-focused approach offers the best mechanism to address this urgent global need. Industrial Engineering Strategy for Constructive Technologies: A Systems-Based Approach for the Global Economy focuses on managing digital engineering using a systems methodology to ensure that all the parts and pieces fit together. It addresses the role of AI, is cognizant of social concerns about technological encroachment, and highlights the sustainability of operations. This book leverages resilience engineering in technology utilization and, at the same time, recognizes humans in the loop of technology. This book also discusses how to use a systems-based approach for accepting and integrating new technologies. The global market is yearning for new guidelines and strategies for coping with the ever-increasing and changing technological landscape. This book is an essential read for university students and instructors and those in the fields of engineering as well as industry, business, government, and the military.

Stochastic Modeling and Optimization of Manufacturing Systems and Supply Chains

This volume originates from two workshops, both focusing on themes that are reflected in the title of the volume. The first workshop took place at Eindhoven University of Technology, April 24-26, 2001, on the occasion of the University granting a doctorate honoris causa to Profes sor John A. Buzacott. The second workshop was held on June 15, 2002 at Cornell University (preceding the annual INFORMSjMSOM Confer ence), honoring John's retirement and his lifetime contributions. Each of the two workshops consisted of about a dozen technical presentations. The objective of the volume, however, is not to simply publish the proceedings of the two workshops. Rather, our objective is to put to gether a select set of articles, each organized into a well-written chapter, focusing on a timely topic. Collected into a single volume, these chapters aim to serve as a useful reference for researchers and practitioners alike, and also as reading materials for graduate courses or seminars.
