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.

Kenneth R. Baker, PhD, is Nathaniel Leverone Professor of Management at Dartmouth College. A Fellow of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), Dr. Baker has published extensively in his areas of research interest, which include mathematical modeling, spreadsheet engineering, and scheduling. He is the coauthor of Management Science: The Art of Modeling with Spreadsheets, Second Edition, also published by Wiley. Dan Trietsch, PhD, is Professor of Industrial Engineering at the American University of Armenia. He has authored over thirty journal articles on topics such as network design, statistical quality control, and various aspects of scheduling.
