The rst title was “Stochastic Management and Design of Manufacturing Systems.” The rst version was attempted in 2001; however, this version was inappropriate and was not revised till now. It is 40 years since I attempted a stochastic approach to manufacturing and management due to the limitations of statistical approaches. The century in which industrial engineering and management rose to the forefront was one in which a static\/statistical approach was applied to the development of classical models and general\/average theory. This book presents a stochastic management approach to the manufacturing and service enterprise with risks by a game\/strategic view, and is based on many papers in production\/queueing studies that have appeared in famous journals. The book’s objective is to discuss and show the goals and constraints on manufacturing and service enterprises, and to provide a strategic\/collaborative solution for management with risks in heterogeneity. This book mainly focuses on the three manufacturing classes: continuous, poi- wise, and exible stream types under risks. These manufacturing streams are rst studied using the respective stochastic processes, and are characterized and dev- oped as a queueing\/strategic control problem of look-ahead\/buffer, selection\/swit- over, and arrangement\/routings. Moreover, the behaviors of some design\/control variables are shown and useful theories for design are established.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2008-10-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780387848037\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-0-387-84804-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 282\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378468348044,"sku":"9780387848037","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780387848037.jpg?v=1775004501","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780387848037","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
