Supply Chain Finance Modelling and Optimization

This book focuses on the recent developments of optimal decision-making using optimisation techniques, mathematical models for energy resources allocation, supply chain and environmental planning.  Several mathematical modelling of cost-effective management policies and several related issues will also be part of the book. This book will provide a useful insight into the decision-making for implementing strategies in various sectors of real-world problems. It presents challenging and useful real-world applications based on problems of decision making in various fields. The modelling and solution procedures of such real-world problems will be provided concisely although all topics start with a more developed resolution. The contributory chapters will be based on the vast research experiences of the authors in real-world decision-making problems. This book will provide readers with a valuable compendium of several decision-making problems, and can be used as a reference for researchers and industrial practitioners of this field. This book will broadly cover applications of optimization techniques in decision making in the areas of inventory problems, supply chain management, production and manufacturing management, vendor selections problems, transportation & logistics, and application of interval technique/fuzzy technique (uncertainty) of the above mentioned areas. This book will help researchers, scientists and industries to understand optimisations techniques for obtaining the best solution for the decision-making problems. The additional feature of the book is that it will give a sound knowledge of modelling of real-world problems and solution procedure using the optimisations techniques for the optimal solution.
