Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Thesubjectofthisbookisthenested partitions method(NP),arelativelynew optimization method that has been found to be very e ective solving discrete optimization problems. Such discrete problems are common in many practical applications and the NP method is thus useful in diverse application areas. It can be applied to both operational and planning problems and has been demonstrated to e ectively solve complex problems in both manufacturing and service industries. To illustrate its broad applicability and e ectiveness, in this book we will show how the NP method has been successful in solving complex problems in planning and scheduling, logistics and transportation, supply chain design, data mining, and health care.

We denote a solution to this problem x and the objective function value f = f (x ).…
