Operations management in agriculture Agricultural production through technological evolution Introduction to engineering management basics Effectiveness and efficiency of agricultural machinery Cost of using agricultural machinery Choosing a machinery system Operations management Agriproducts supply chain operations Energy inputs and outputs in agricultural operations Advances and future trends in agricultural machinery and management Appendices. Operations Management in Agriculture bridges the knowledge gap on operations management for agricultural machinery. It complements traditional topics (cost of using and choosing machinery) with advanced engineering approaches recently applied in agricultural machinery management (area coverage planning and sequential scheduling). The book covers new technologies in bio production systems (robotics IoT) and environmental compliance by employing a systems engineering perspective with focuses on sub systems including advanced optimization supply chain systems sustainability autonomous vehicles and IT driven decision making. It will be a valuable resource for students studying decision making and those working to improve the efficiency effectiveness and sustainability of production through machinery choice Publishers description
