Description
The objective of this book is to provide a valuable compendium of problems as a reference for undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, researchers and practitioners of operations research and management science. These problems can serve as a basis for the development or study of assignments and exams. Also, they can be useful as a guide for the first stage of the model formulation, i.e. the definition of a problem.
The book is divided into 11 chapters that address the following topics: Linear programming, integer programming, non linear programming, network modeling, inventory theory, queue theory, tree decision, game theory, dynamic programming and markov processes. Readers are going to find a considerable number of statements of operations research applications for management decision-making. The solutions of these problems are provided in a concise way although all topics start with a more developed resolution. The proposed problems are based on the research experience of the authors in real-world companies so much as on the teaching experience of the authors in order to develop exam problems for industrial engineering and business administration studies.

Dr. Andrew C. Lyons has been a Lecturer in Operations Management at the University of Liverpool Management School since 2002. He gained his Ph.D. in Manufacturing Management in 1996 from the University of Liverpool. Dr. Lyon's research interests include: operations strategy, supply chain design and performance measurement, supply chain information structures, mass customisation and build-to-order strategies. He is a member of the Institute of Operations Management (MIOM) and an associate member of the Institution of Electrical Engineers - Manufacturing Division (AMIEE).
Dr. Adrian E. Coronado Mondragón is a Research Associate with the Future Supply Innovations Research Team (FUSION) e-business team at the University of Liverpool Management School. He gained his Ph.D. in 2002 from Brunel University and his MSc. in Engineering Project Management - Manufacturing in 1996 from the University of Birmingham. His current research has focused on testing an operational approach for the measurement of end-to-end supply chain performance and on investigating if automotive supply chain performance can be improved by supplying demand data to upstream players in the chain. His research agenda for the next few years involves studying innovative supply chain business models designed to facilitate the implementation of build-to-order initiatives.
