This book is intended as a text for courses in quantitative analysis, management science, and operations research as taught in business and administration curriculums. It is suitable for use by advanced undergraduate and graduate students in such programs. The text presents essential concepts and models for those who will take no additional courses in the area and for those who need a solid foundation for further study of quantitative analysis. Throughout this book, emphasis has been placed on a clear definition of purpose, the use of business-oriented examples and problems, and the avoidance of excessive formalization and abstract terminology, especially where the underlying idea is clear from the context. We have tried throughout the text to present intuitive explanations of those mathematical concepts that have sometimes been difficult to grasp. The text consists of 20 chapters and computer program source listings. The following topics are included: decision theory, mathematical programming techniques (linear, integer, goal, nonlinear, dynamic, and stochastic programming techniques), game theory, network models, inventory models, queueing theory, simulation, and Markov-chain models.
MARC J. SCHNIEDERJANS: Topics in Just-in-Time Management.
Allyn & Bacon, Boston.
Topics in Just-in-Time Management is an advanced undergraduate or graduate textbook that focuses on the subject of how just-in-time (JIT) methodologies can be integrated into state-of-the-art manufacturing and service operations. In Part 1, a review of JIT inventory, production scheduling, and quality control principles are presented as a foundation for their integration with advanced manufacturing and service operations. In Part 2, a series of chapters are devoted to describing how JIT can be integrated into management resource planning (MRP II) systems, computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) systems, service operations and administrative systems. Implementation strategies and monitoring methodologies are also presented to aid students in understanding how to achieve a successful integration. In Part 3, the procedures and rules for an in-class simulation game are presented. This simulation game permits students an opportunity to actually experience the successfulness of a JIT based operation through a process of experiments. This textbook is unique in that it is designed for use in colleges of business and is equipped with educational pedagogy including glossary of terms, chapter end discussion questions and problems, as well as cases.

and GARY R. REEVES:Advances in Mathematical
Programming and Financial Planning. Jai Press, London. The objective of this series of annual monographs is to present state-of-the-art studies of the integration of mathematical programming into financial planning and management. The literature and techniques in financial planning and management are becoming increasingly complex. It is hoped that the monographs aid in the dissemination of research efforts in quantitative financial analysis. The topics will normally include cash management, capital budgeting, financing decisions, portfolio management and performance analysis, and financial planning models. The analyses generally include mixed integer programming, goal programming biased regression techniques, and simulation models.
