Synopsis

This book argues that new information technology has created unparalleled opportunities for more effective long- and short-range planning. By using computers in the planning process, more alternatives can be evaluated and more valid models can be employed. The author notes that the incremental value of closely coupled man-machine planning is attributable to enabling the human's superior heuristic, pattern recognition, and subjective judgmental abilities to be brought to bear directly in the recursive problem-solving process. Finally, when man-machine planning is integrated with online, real-time control there are distinct additional values to be found in validity, ease of replanning, and implementation. The author ends by discussing the significance of the book's insights on its main subject.
