About this title

Synopsis

This edited book addresses the challenges in managing the operations and supply chain of organizations in the era of internet of things and Industry 4.0. It presents cutting edge research on real world operations related problems, in-depth analyses, and relevant managerial implications. Wide variety of solution approaches such as quantitative, quantitative, and simulations are presented in the context of managing the operations and supply chains. Consisting of selected papers from the XXIII Annual International Conference of Society of Operations Management, this volume is part of a two volume series with the other book consisting of chapters on quantitative decision making. 

This edited book covers various quantitative models on operations and supply chain management such as inventory optimization, machine learning-operations research integrated model for healthcare systems, game-theoretic analysis of review strategies in truthful information sharing, design of contracts insupply chains, supply chain optimization, inventory routing, and shop floor scheduling. In addition to the quantitative models, several innovative heuristics are proposed for different problems. This book explores qualitative models on improving the performance of small and medium enterprises and petroleum industries and a simulation model for staff allocation in the information technology industry. Finally, this book provides review articles on vaccine supply chains and behavioral operations management.

The book throws light on the emerging trends in the use of analytics, optimization, and simulation tools and empirical analysis to improve the performance of operations and supply chains of organizations. It will serve as an essential resource for practitioners, students, faculty members and scholars in operations management and related areas to gain knowledge and pursue high quality research on developments in areas such as managing the resource management andthe solution methodology---innovative tools employed in addressing the real world problems and the different optimization techniques.
