| Review: |
This book is primarily devoted to continuous models for a special class of supply chain, often called a production or supply network. It presents a mathematical description of different phenomena that appear in the planning and management of supply chains and looks at both the mathematical modelling and the techniques for simulation and optimization purposes. There are chapters on: Mathematical preliminaries; Basic queuing models, Models based on ordinary differential equations; Model based on partial differential equations; Continuum-discrete models, Control and optimization problems for networks, and Computational results. |
