New Directions for Operations Research in Manufacturing Proceedings of a Joint US/German Conference, Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA, July 30–31, 1991 / edited by Günter Fandel, Thomas Gulledge, Albert Jones.

Basically five problems areas are addressed by operations research specialists in the manufacturing domain: theore- tical and practical aspectsin production planning, facility layout, inventory control, tool management and scheduling. Some of these problems can be solved off-line, while others must...
