Description for Optimal Control and Optimization of Stochastic Supply Chain Systems
Paperback. This book demonstrates the structural characteristics of the optimal control policies in various stochastic supply chains and to shows how to make use of these characteristics to construct easy-to-operate sub-optimal policies. Series: Advances in Industrial Control. Num Pages: 292 pages, 42 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: KJMV5; PBKQ; TBC; TGXT; TJFM. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 15. Weight in Grams: 450.
Optimal Control and Optimization of Stochastic Supply Chain Systems examines its subject the context of the presence of a variety of uncertainties. Numerous examples with intuitive illustrations and tables are provided, to demonstrate the structural characteristics of the optimal control policies in various stochastic supply chains and to show how to make use of these characteristics to construct easy-to-operate sub-optimal policies. In Part I, a general introduction to stochastic supply chain systems is provided. Analytical models for various stochastic supply chain systems are formulated and analysed in Part II. In Part III the structural knowledge of the optimal control policies ... Read more
