Strategic Decision Making for Sustainable Management of Industrial Networks
This book presents a diverse set of decision-making methodologies to solve some of the most important decisions that most organizations face today. It is an excellent demonstration of some great challenges in our society in the area of sustainability. These great challenges, ranging from sustainability in logistics to the use of renewable energies, needs to be urgently addressed. Sustainability has become one of the most important topics in management and many organizations are taking big steps towards sustainability. Organizations are attempting to use cleaner production technologies and renewable energies sources, to improve health and safety issues within their industries and the products and services they offer. These points involve several important strategic and managerial decisions, highlighted in this book. The book can be used by decision-makers and policy-makers as exemplary guidelines to solve sustainability problems.
Advances in Best-Worst Method
This proceedings book contains selected papers from the Fourth International Workshop on Best-Worst Method (BWM2023), held in Delft, the Netherlands, from 8 to 9 June 2023. It presents recent advancements in theory and applications of the Best-Worst Method (BWM). It provides valuable insights on why and how to use BWM in a diverse set of applications including health, energy, supply chain management, and engineering. The book highlights the use of BWM in different settings including single decision-making vs group decision-making, full information vs incomplete and uncertain situations. Academics and practitioners who are involved in multi-criteria decision-making and decision analysis benefit from the papers published in this book.
Multi-Criteria Decision-Making and Optimum Design with Machine Learning
As multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) continues to grow and evolve, machine learning (ML) techniques have become increasingly important in finding efficient and effective solutions to complex problems. This book is intended to guide researchers, practitioners, and students interested in the intersection of ML and MCDM for optimal design. Multi-Criteria Decision-Making and Optimum Design with Machine Learning: A Practical Guide is a comprehensive resource that bridges the gap between ML and MCDM. It offers a practical approach by demonstrating the application of ML and MCDM algorithms to real-world problems. Through case studies and examples, it showcases the effectiveness of these techniqu...
Control and Automation, and Energy System Engineering
This book comprises selected papers of the International Conferences, CA and CES3 2011, held as Part of the Future Generation Information Technology Conference, FGIT 2011, in Conjunction with GDC 2011, Jeju Island, Korea, in December 2011. The papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions and focuse on the various aspects of control and automation, and circuits, control, communication, electricity, electronics, energy, system, signal and simulation.
Advances in Applied Artificial Intelligence
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Industrial and Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems, IEA/AIE 2006, held in Annecy, France, June 2006. The book presents 134 revised full papers together with 3 invited contributions, organized in topical sections on multi-agent systems, decision-support, genetic algorithms, data-mining and knowledge discovery, fuzzy logic, knowledge engineering, machine learning, speech recognition, systems for real life applications, and more.
Dynamics in Logistics
This contributed volume brings together research papers presented at the 4th International Conference on Dynamics in Logistics, held in Bremen, Germany in February 2014. The conference focused on the identification, analysis and description of the dynamics of logistics processes and networks. Topics covered range from the modeling and planning of processes, to innovative methods like autonomous control and knowledge management, to the latest technologies provided by radio frequency identification, mobile communication, and networking. The growing dynamic poses wholly new challenges: logistics processes and networks must be(come) able to rapidly and flexibly adapt to constantly changing conditions. The book primarily addresses the needs of researchers and practitioners from the field of logistics, but will also be beneficial for graduate students.
E - NAVIGATION BASICS
At first glance there seems to be a fragmented nature of the maritime digital solution market, yet, after reading this book the 'big picture' becomes clear and everything is put into the right context. Over the last decades, and after numerous projects, committee work, and industry initiatives (all described in this book), the contours of E-navigation eventually distilled to a clear structure. On one hand the E-navigation framework provides reliable guidance, but on the other hand leaves sufficient flexibility for further technological and also procedural advancements. Realisations of E-navigation are in use already, being closely linked e.g. with modern integrated ship-bridges, the layout o...
Handbook on the Sustainable Supply Chain
Supply chain management has long been a feature of industry and commerce but, with increasing demands from consumers, producers are spending more time and money investing in ways to make supply chains more sustainable. This exemplary Handbook provides readers with a comprehensive overview of current research on sustainable supply chain management.
Advances in Production Management Systems. Value Networks: Innovation, Technologies, and Management
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the International IFIP WG 5.7 Conference on Advances in Production Management Systems, APMS 2011, held in Stavanger, Norway, in September 2011. The 66 revised and extended full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 124 papers presented at the conference. The papers are organized in 3 parts: production process, supply chain management, and strategy. They represent the breadth and complexity of topics in operations management, ranging from optimization and use of technology, management of organizations and networks, to sustainable production and globalization. The authors use a broad range of methodological approaches spanning from grounded theory and qualitative methods, via a broad set of statistical methods to modeling and simulation techniques.
Handbook of Research on Advances and Applications of Fuzzy Sets and Logic
Fuzzy logic, which is based on the concept of fuzzy set, has enabled scientists to create models under conditions of imprecision, vagueness, or both at once. As a result, it has now found many important applications in almost all sectors of human activity, becoming a complementary feature and supporter of probability theory, which is suitable for modelling situations of uncertainty derived from randomness. Fuzzy mathematics has also significantly developed at the theoretical level, providing important insights into branches of traditional mathematics like algebra, analysis, geometry, topology, and more. With such widespread applications, fuzzy sets and logic are an important area of focus in...
