Optimization Modelling: A Practical Approach

Illustrating the use of modelling in the decision making process, this unified narrative helps readers gain a working knowledge of a wide range of techniques. The authors present these techniques in a straightforward manner illustrated by examples. They analyze the formulation and modelling of a number of well-known theoretical and practical problems. The book also discusses the use of software packages, which can be used to work optimization models without the fuss of higher math and complex solution methods. The authors draw from their experience in applying these techniques to practical problem solving and for dealing with implementation difficulties most likely to be encountered.
