Management of pheromones: example of the traveling salesman problem This book aims to help engineers, Masters students and young researchers to understand and gain a general knowledge of logistic systems optimization problems and techniques, such as system design, layout, stock management, quality management, lot-sizing or scheduling. It summarizes the evaluation and optimization methods used to solve the most frequent problems. In particular, the authors also emphasize some recent and interesting scientific developments, as well as presenting some industrial applications and some solved instances from real-life cases.Performance evaluation tools (PetAutomation-control and industrial engineering series.Computer scienceMathematicsLogisticsMathematical modelsComputer scienceMathematics.LogisticsMathematical models.511.1Yalaoui Alice889056Yalaoui Alice889056MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910141604703321Optimization of logistics1986504UNINA
