Intelligent Decision-making Models for Production and Retail Operations [electronic resource] /
Guo, Zhaoxia.author.
This book provides an overview of intelligent decision-making techniques and discusses their application in production and retail operations. Manufacturing and retail enterprises have stringent standards for using advanced and reliable techniques to improve decision-making processes, since these processes have significant effects on the performance of relevant operations and the entire supply chain. In recent years, researchers have been increasingly focusing attention on using intelligent techniques to solve various decision-making problems. The opening chapters provide an introduction to several commonly used intelligent techniques, such as genetic algorithm, harmony search, neural network and extreme learning machine. The book then explores the use of these techniques for handling various production and retail decision-making problems, such as production planning and scheduling, assembly line balancing, and sales forecasting.
Description based upon print version of record.
Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.
From the Contents: Introduction -- Fundamentals of intelligent decision-making techniques -- An intelligent decision-making framework for production planning and control -- An intelligent optimization model for order scheduling at factory level.
