{"product_id":"modeling-and-analysis-of-manufacturing-systems-isbn-9780471514183","title":"Modeling and Analysis of Manufacturing Systems","description":"Unique in its focus on design and analysis methodologies for all areas of material flow management and system resource usage. Features research techniques that demonstrate the difference between opinions and findings, leading-edge approach to facility layout and a comprehensive queueing network. Progressive examples illustrate that there is more than one model for a system and case studies show integration of multiple techniques for realistic model building and problem solving.

Askin is the author of Modeling and Analysis of Manufacturing Systems, published by Wiley. Charles R. Standridge is the author of Modeling and Analysis of Manufacturing Systems, published by Wiley.   This comprehensive book was specifically written to bridge the gap between modeling and manufacturing systems. It gives readers a broad understanding of the integral role of operations research models in the design and operation of manufacturing systems. Modeling techniques of real manufacturing systems including quantitative analysis are covered in complete detail, as well as recent developments in the field, such as flexible manufacturing systems and cellular manufacturing.
