Jonathan F. Bard Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

In a rapidly developing field like Operations Research, its easy to get overwhelmed by the variety of topics and analytic techniques. Paul Jensen and Jonathan Bard help you master the expensive field by focusing on the fundamental models and methodologies underlying the practice of Operations Research. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, the author presents the quantitative tools and models most important to understanding modern operations research. You'll come to appreciate the power of OR techniques in solving real-world problems and applications in your own field. You'll learn how to translate complex situations into mathematical models, solve models and turn models into solutions. This text is designed to bridge the gap between theory and practice by presenting the quantitative tools and models most suited for modern operations research. The principal goal is to give analysts, engineers, and decision makers a larger appreciation of their roles by defining a common terminology and by explaining the interfaces between the underlying methodologies. Features Divides each subject into methods and models, giving you greater flexibility in how you approach the material. Concise and focused presentation highlights central ideas. Many examples throughout the text will help you better understand mathematical material.

This thorough and practical treatment of the engineering and managerial issues surrounding project management gives managers, engineers and technology experts a larger appreciation of their roles by 1) defining a common terminology, 2) explaining the interfaces between the different disciplines involved, and 3) teaching the techniques commonly used in the planning and execution of modern projects. Shows how to better select, plan, monitor and control a project throughout its life cycle. Emphasizes organizational design and the types of data and systems needed for successful decision making. Stresses integrative concepts rather than isolated methodologies. Presents some of the more important mathematical programming models arising in project management, and provides references for further study.
