Master data analysis, modeling and the effective use of spreadsheets with the popular BUSINESS ANALYTICS: DATA ANALYSIS AND DECISION MAKING, 7E. The quantitative methods approach in this edition helps you maximize your success with a proven teach-by-example presentation, inviting writing style and complete integration of the latest version of Excel. The approach is also compatible with earlier versions of Excel for your convenience. This edition is more data-oriented than ever before with a new chapter on the two main Power BI tools in Excel -- Power Query and Power Pivot -- and a new section of data visualization with Tableau Public. Current problems and cases demonstrate the importance of the concepts you are learning. In addition, a useful Companion Website provides data and solutions files, SolverTable for optimization sensitivity analysis and Palisade DecisionTools Suite. MindTap online resources are also available.

Master data analysis, modeling and spreadsheets with Albright/Winston's BUSINESS ANALYTICS: DATA ANALYSIS & DECISION MAKING, 8TH EDITION. This analytical approach delivers a proven teach-by-example approach, student-friendly writing and integration with Excel. The data-oriented new edition covers the two main Power BI tools in Excel, Power Query and Power Pivot, and includes sections on implementing these tools in Power BI Desktop. Current problems and cases demonstrate the importance of the concepts you are learning. MindTap, the online learning platform, provides a wealth of helpful study tools such as interactive eBook, Excel assignments and homework, videos and much more.

Calibration is playing an increasingly important role in industrial robotics. Higher accuracy demands are being placed on flexible assembly and manufacturing systems which in turn require robot manufacturers to produce higher quality precision robots. The information obtained from calibrating a robot can be used to compensate errors existing between the model used for robot control and the actual robot, and hence can improve robot accuracy 10-fold. This book not only covers the various aspects of robot calibration - including industrial applications, development work and basic research - but also presents calibration topics in an organized way to make the comprehensive state-of-the-art information more understandable and, above all, readily usable. In essence this book is about determining the actual kinematic and dynamic parameters of multi-axis mechanical systems (for example, large manipulators, milling machines or robots). The focus is on robotic systems used for manufacturing and assembly. Much attention is given to the technical aspects of calibration, and at the same time practical applications are included so that the importance of these techniques to industry is not lost.This book should be useful for engineers involved in the manufacture of multi-axis systems, as well as those employing such systems for assembly and manufacturing tasks. It should also be of interest to researchers involved in the development of robots, machine tools and manufacturing and assembly systems, as well as graduate engineering students.

VBA FOR MODELERS, 3e, International Edition helps students gain valuable experience in automating simple but repetitive spreadsheet tasks, as well as developing decision support systems for complex management science models.

Learn to take full advantage of the power of spreadsheet modeling with PRACTICAL MANAGEMENT SCIENCE, 6E, geared entirely to Excel 2016. This edition uses an active-learning approach and realistic problems with the right amount of theory to ensure you establish a strong foundation. Exercises offer practical, hands-on experience with the methodologies. Examples and problems from finance, marketing, and operations management, and other areas of business illustrate how management science applies to your chosen profession -- and how you can use these skills on the job. The authors emphasize modeling rather than algebraic formulations and memorization of particular models. This edition also includes access to Palisade DecisionTools Suite (BigPicture, @RISK, PrecisionTree, StatTools, TopRank, NeuralTools, and Evolver) as well as SolverTable, for sensitivity analysis on optimization models. Chapters 15-17 are available online via MindTap.
