Hardback : HK$1,600.00
As with its predecessor, the new edition of this handbook presents those analytical results and formulas needed in the science applications of operations research and management. It continues to provide quick calculations and insight into system performance. The material is organized by topic and presented in a concise format that allows readers ready-access to a wide range of results in a single volume. Entirely revised, the second edition adds a wealth of new information including new chapters on reliability theory results, order statistics, heuristic search methods, and probability relationships. It also offers invaluable information on production systems modeling and priority queuing.
