Algorithms and Computational Techniques Applied to Industry
Description
This book presents algorithms and computational applications integrated in software that are being applied in the industry. It shows how companies using these tools are more competitive and efficient in the use and resources management. The book is organized in three sections, depending on the supply chain stage: procurement, including contact with costumers and product design; Production process, including relationship with suppliers and among departments; and Distribution, including logistics and transportation.
