Excerpt from Optimizing the Value Chain on Desktop Workstations<br/><br/>About twenty years ago, managers began to sense that emerging information technologies could provide timely data which, when used to integrate diverse activities, would allow costs to be significantly reduced. In most companies, however, accomplishing integration proved elusive because harnessing the new technologies proved much more difficult than anticipated. Some firms have taken ten years, or more, to create and organize the data bases and computer infrastructure upon which to establish integrated planning and control. This situation is changing radically. Many companies have finally assembled reasonably complete and accessible corporate information systems. As a result, managers are actively seeking new tools for analyzing their large, numerical data bases to identify strategies for reducing costs and improving competitive advantage.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book illustrates how to successfully integrate mathematical models and optimization to analyze and resolve complex planning problems in supply chain management. The author argues that integrated planning based on mathematical programming can significantly benefit a company's competitive position regarding costs and decision-making processes. Additionally, the author asserts that mathematical models offer a framework for organizing data to support tactical and strategic decision-making. The ideas presented in this book have significant implications for the practice and study of integrated planning. Readers gain a deeper understanding of an effective yet underexplored approach to supply chain management through the author's exploration of the concepts and applications of integrated planning with mathematical programming.
