This book addresses optimization theory and analysis in the context of an overall effort to achieve quality. It is designed for use as a primary book as a supplementary text in a material/mechanical/Industrial engineering course, and as a resource for academic and practical approach. The main characteristics of this book are: -It assumes that the reader's goal is to achieve a suitable balance of cost, schedule, and quality. It is not oriented toward critical systems. -It presents modern optimization techniques suitable for near-term application, with sufficient technical background to...
