Introduction to Operations Research.
Hillier, Frederick S.
Introduction to Operations Research. - 8th/ed. - Boston : McGraw-Hill, c2005. - xxv, 1061p. illus. (np) 25cm.
Includes index.
A special goal for this edition has been to add substantial coverage of dramatic, recent developments that are beginning to revolutionize how certain areas of operations research are being protected. These recent development include: 1. the use of Meta heuristic to solve large, complex problems. 2. The integration of constraints programming with mathematical programming (especially integer programming) to greatly expand our ability to formulate complicated problems, and 3. The use of multi echelon inventory models to aid supply chain management. Although these topics traditionally have not been covered in introductory survey course, their dramatically increased importance for future practitioners of operations research now demands their inclusion in a modern introductory OR textbook.
