Computational Intelligence Techniques for Sustainable Supply Chain Management

Computational Intelligence Techniques for Sustainable Supply Chain Management presents state-of-the-art computational intelligence techniques and applications for supply chain sustainability issues and logistic problems, filling the gap between general textbooks on sustainable supply chain management and more specialized literature dealing with methods for computational intelligence techniques. This book focuses on addressing problems in advanced topics in the sustainable supply chain and will appeal to practitioners, managers, researchers, students, and professionals interested in sustainable logistics, procurement, manufacturing, inventory and production management, scheduling, transportation, and supply chain network design.

• Serves as a reference on computational intelligence–enabled sustainable supply chains for graduate students in computer/data science, industrial engineering, industrial ecology, and business
• Explores key topics in sustainable supply chain informatics, that is, heuristics, metaheuristics, robotics, simulation, machine learning, big data analytics and artificial intelligence
• Provides a foundation for industry leaders and professionals to understand recent and cutting-edge methodologies and technologies in the domain of sustainable supply chain powered by computational intelligence techniques
