Operations and Production Systems with Multiple Objectives / Wiley Series in Systems Engineering and Management (PDF)

The first comprehensive book to uniquely combine the three
fields of systems engineering, operations/production systems, and
multiple criteria decision making/optimization

Systems engineering is the art and science of designing,
engineering, and building complex systems--combining art,
science, management, and engineering disciplines. Operations and
Production Systems with Multiple Objectives covers all
classical topics of operations and production systems as well as
new topics not seen in any similiar textbooks before: small-scale
design of cellular systems, large-scale design of complex systems,
clustering, productivity and efficiency measurements, and energy
systems.

Filled with completely new perspectives, paradigms, and robust
methods of solving classic and modern problems, the book includes
numerous examples and sample spreadsheets for solving each problem,
a solutions manual, and a book companion site complete with worked
examples and supplemental articles.

Operations and Production Systems with Multiple
Objectives will teach readers:

* How operations and production systems are designed and
planned

* How operations and production systems are engineered and
optimized

* How to formulate and solve manufacturing systems problems

* How to model and solve interdisciplinary and systems
engineering problems

* How to solve decision problems with multiple and conflicting
objectives

This book is ideal for senior undergraduate, MS, and PhD
graduate students in all fields of engineering, business, and
management as well as practitioners and researchers in systems
engineering, operations, production, and manufacturing.
