The Handbook of Production
Scheduling (Springer, New York, 2006)
is in the International Series in Operations
Research and Management Science.
Fred Hillier is the series editor.
The book is an edited handbook that is applications-oriented.
The purpose of the book is to present scheduling principles,
advanced tools, and examples of innovative scheduling systems
to persons who could use this information to improve production
scheduling in their own organization.
The intended audience includes the following persons:
-
Production managers, plant managers, industrial engineers,
operations research practitioners;
-
Students (advanced undergraduates and graduate students) studying
operations research and industrial engineering;
-
Faculty teaching and conducting research in operations research
and industrial engineering.
The Book Reviews column
in the May-June 2008 issue of Interfaces
includes a review of the Handbook of Production Scheduling.
The review is by Javier Faulin at the Public University of Navarre
in Pamplona, Spain.
