Optimization and Management in Manufacturing Engineering

“This is an interesting and timely book that examines the challenges faced by manufacturing systems that integrate information technology, process management, and optimization within the Internet of Things (IoT). It should be required reading for anyone who is interested in new trends in optimization and management in manufacturing engineering that are being driven by the recent advances in the Internet of Things through the ever-expanding role of the internet and big data.” (Ignacio E. Grossmann, Optimization Methods and Software, Vol. 34 (1), 2019)“This book provides numerous practical examples thatmanagers can use currently or adapt into their plans as their IoT capabilities increase. It also gives academic researchers a solid foundation on which to create additional contributions to this burgeoning area of investigation.” (John R. Birge, Journal of Global Optimization, Vol. 73, 2019)
