This textbook provides a comprehensive modeling, reformulation and optimization approach for solving production planning and supply chain planning problems, covering topics from a basic introduction to planning systems, mixed integer programming (MIP) models and algorithms through the advanced description of mathematical results in polyhedral combinatorics required to solve these problems.

Based on twenty years worth of research in which the authors have played a significant role, the book addresses real life industrial production planning problems (involving complex production...

Written by international experts in the field of integer programming, this text and reference presents the mathematical foundations, theory, and algorithms of discrete optimization methods, incorporating many techniques as well as numerous examples and model formulations. Throughout, the notation used is clear and consistent and the level of mathematics never becomes excessive: difficult theorems are approached via a series of propositions, and proofs accurately reference the earlier results at each stage.
