Sommario/riassunto

Probabilistic and combinatorial techniques are often used for solving advanced problems. This book describes different probabilistic modeling methods and their applications in various areas, such as artificial intelligence, offshore platforms, social networks, and others. It aims to educate how modern probabilistic and combinatorial models may be created to formalize uncertainties; to train how new probabilistic models can be generated for the systems of complex structures; to describe the correct use of the presented models for rational control in systems creation and operation; and to demonstrate analytical possibilities and practical effects for solving different system problems on each life cycle stage.

Sommario/riassunto

"This book provides a unique appraisal of supply chain management (SCM) concepts brought together with lessons from industry and analysis gathered from extensive research on how supply chains are managed in the construction industry. The research from leading international academics has been drawn together with the experience from some of the industry's foremost SCM practitioners to provide both the experienced researcher and the industry practitioner a thorough grounding in its principles as well as an illustration of SCM as a methodology for enhancing construction industry project success. The second edition responds to the continued interest both academically and practically in SCM. It provides the opportunity to build upon the interest created by the first edition and to bring the material up to date. The new book will incorporate chapters dealing with Building Information Modelling, sustainability, the 'Demand Chain' in projects, the link between self-organising networks and supply chains, decision-making, 'Lean', mega-projects, risk transfer and allocation, behaviours,



innovation, trust, supply chain design, alliances and knowledge transfer. Supply Chain Management (SCM) techniques have been used successfully in various industries, such as manufacturing and food processing, for decades. The supply chain in these industries encompasses all the activities associated with procuring and processing raw materials to completion of the end product. It is usually focused on repeatedly manufactured products, so to use the term 'Supply Chain Management' in the context of the construction industry suggests that it is possible to adopt those practices without significantly adapting them to reflect the particular nature of the construction industry and its culture"--
