The performance of an company depends both on its technological
expertise and its managerial and organizational effectiveness.
Production management is an important part of the process for
manufacturing firms. The organization of production relies in
general on the implementation of a certain number of basic
functions, among which the scheduling function plays an essential
role.
This title presents recently developed methods for resolving
scheduling issues. The basic concepts and the methods of production
scheduling are introduced and advanced techniques are discussed,
providing readers with a comprehensive and accessible guide to
employing this process.
