Principles of Sequencing and Scheduling

Sequencing and scheduling rely heavily on decision making and can have a major impact on the productivity of a process. Written by two well-known experts in the field, "Principles of Sequencing and Scheduling" thoroughly discusses the fundamental and core topics of scheduling theory. An expanded, updated, and more comprehensive version of Kenneth Baker's two previous works, this accessible text thoroughly covers deterministic models and includes recent developments and approaches of stochastic models. This is an ideal reference for practicing applied mathematicians, statisticians, computer scientists, operations researchers, and industrial engineers.
