Operation Optimization with Sequential Empirical Optimization and Software Implementation
2018
Scarce resources and competition lead to deeper improvements in the productivity, effectiveness, and efciency of all the major activities in production/manufacturing. Some improvements are obtained through better product design, materials, equipment, and instrumentation (sensors and controls), in the realm of engineering; and some by making best use of the assets that already exist, partially achieved by experience and trial-and-error, but truly completed in the realm of technical management, process modeling, and operations research (as of the eld in industrial engineering).
