Decision Policies for Production Networks presents recent convergent research on developing policies for operating production networks including details of practical control and decision techniques which can be applied to improve the effectiveness and economic efficiency of production networks worldwide. Researchers and practitioners come together to explore a wide variety of approaches to a range of topics including:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWIP and equipment management policies,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterial release policies,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMachine, factory, and supply chain network policies for delivery in the face of supply and demand variability, and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConflicts between complex production network models and their controlling policies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCase studies and relevant mathematical techniques are included to support and explain techniques such as heuristics, global and hierarchical optimization, control theory and filtering approaches related to complex systems or traffic flows. Decision Policies for Production Networks acts as handbook for researchers and practitioners alike, providing findings and information which can be applied to develop methods and advance further research across production networks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-03-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780857296436\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-0-85729-644-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 302\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49940132921484,"sku":"9780857296436","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780857296436.jpg?v=1779053061","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780857296436","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
