Linear And Nonlinear Optimization Using Spreadsheets: Examples For Prescriptive, Predictive And Descriptive Analytics
The use of spreadsheets to obtain solutions to a diverse array of examples offers a reader-friendly way of addressing a topic (optimization) that can sometimes be viewed as intimidating. Many people are readily familiar with spreadsheets and how they work, yet are apt to be unaware of the incredible power of Excel for solving some rather complex optimization problems. A major goal of the book is to sell readers on why it is so important to understand optimization, and a large collection of examples for a wide range of business decision making areas (e.g., production planning and scheduling, workforce planning and scheduling, location and supply chain distribution, location of emergency services, assembly line balancing, vehicle routing, project scheduling, revenue management, advertising, product design, payout schedules, productivity measurement, investment portfolio management, sports league scheduling, ranking models, etc.) affords a practical mechanism for achieving that goal. Another important contribution of the book is that it provides coverage of the mechanics of some common yet sophisticated statistical methods (regression, logistic regression, discriminant analysis, factor analysis, and cluster analysis), which are often opaque to many users of such methods.

Palgrave Handbook of Operations Research
Operations Research (OR) is a fast-evolving field, which is having a significant impact on its neighbouring disciplines of Business Analytics and Data Science, and on contemporary business and management practices. This handbook provides a comprehensive and cutting edge collection of studies in the area. Views differ on what should be included within the scope of OR. The editors of this volume have taken the view that an inclusive stance is the most helpful, both for theory and practice. Real-world problems often require consideration from both ‘softer’ and ‘harder’ perspectives and need consideration of both predictive and prescriptive problems. In accordance with this inclusive approach to OR, the book is divided into six parts, covering Discrete Optimization, Continuous Optimization, Heuristic Search Optimization, Forecasting, Simulation and Prediction, Problem Structuring and Behavioural OR, and finally some recent OR Applications.This wide-ranging handbook includes a culturally diverse collection of authors, with different perspectives and backgrounds around Operations Research. It will be of tremendous value to researchers, students and practitioners in the field of OR

Tutorials on Emerging Methodologies and Applications in Operations Research
This volume reflects the theme of the INFORMS 2004 Meeting in Denver: Back to OR Roots. Emerging as a quantitative approach to problem-solving in World War II, our founders were physicists, mathematicians, and engineers who quickly found peace-time uses. It is fair to say that Operations Research (OR) was born in the same incubator as computer science, and it has spawned many new disciplines, such as systems engineering, health care management, and transportation science. Although people from many disciplines routinely use OR methods, many scientific researchers, engineers, and others do not understand basic OR tools and how they can help them. Disciplines ranging from finance to bioengineering are the beneficiaries of what we do — we take an interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving. Our strengths are modeling, analysis, and algorithm design. We provide a quanti- tive foundation for a broad spectrum of problems, from economics to medicine, from environmental control to sports, from e-commerce to computational - ometry. We are both producers and consumers because the mainstream of OR is in the interfaces. As part of this effort to recognize and extend OR roots in future probl- solving, we organized a set of tutorials designed for people who heard of the topic and want to decide whether to learn it. The 90 minutes was spent addre- ing the questions: What is this about, in a nutshell? Why is it important? Where can I learn more? In total, we had 14 tutorials, and eight of them are published here.

Ausgewllhlt wurden die Lineare Optimierung (Simplex-Methode) mit Sensibilitllts- analyse, die Transportproblem-Methode, das Zuordnungsproblem (gelost durch voll- stiindige Enumeration), das Rundreiseproblem (begrenzte Enumeration). Das Ver- fahren der dynamischen Planungsrechnung wird an einem Lagerhaltungsproblem und das Branch-and-Bound-Verfahren an einem Einsatzproblem gezeigt. AuBerdem sind noch zwei Programme zur Erzeugung alIer Permutationen aus n Elementen (Grundlage vieler Reihenfolgeprobleme) und aller Kombinationen enthalten sowie ein CPM-Netzplan-Programm. Dabei ist zur sinnvollen Nutzung der Inhalte elementares mathematisches Ab- straktionsvermogen grundsatzliche Voraussetzung. Entscheidend fur die Anwen- dungsvielfalt der dargelegten Methoden und Verfahren bleibt die Bereitschaft und Fiihigkeit des Anwenders, konkrete Probleme der Betriebspraxis moglichst sachge- recht in einen mathematischen Ansatz, der den LOsungsmethoden des Operations Research zugiinglich ist, urnzuformulieren. Immerhin ermoglicht der Mikrocompu- ter auch dem Klein- und Mittelbetrieb einen efflzienten Einsatz der zeitaufwendigen Verfahren des Operations Research, wenngleich zu beriicksichtigen ist, d bei wachsender Komplexitiit des mathematischen Ansatzes die Rechenzeiten zwangs- liiufig zunehmen. Ziel des Buches ist es nicht nur, fertige, einsatzfahige Programme bereitzustellen, sondem auch zu zeigen, wie man Programme erstellt. Die Phasen der Programmer- stellung sind im Anhang 1 dargestellt. Die wichtigsten Phasen sind die Problem- analyse (siehe Abb. 47) und die Erstellung der Programm-Logik. Wahrend man fUr die Problemanalyse keine allgemeingilltigen oder systematischen Empfehlungen geben kann, gibt es fUr die Darstellung der Programm-Logik mehrere geeignete Hilfs- mittel. Wir verwenden ausschlieBlich Logik-Diagramme, die leicht abgewandelte Struktogramme sind (siehe Anhang 2).

Applied Operations Research and Financial Modelling in Energy
This book on Applied Operations Research and Financial Modelling in Energy (AORFME) presents several applications of operations research (OR) and financial modelling. The contributions by a group of OR and Finance researchers focus on a variety of energy decisions, presenting a quantitative perspective, and providing policy implications of the proposed or applied methodologies. The content is divided into three main parts: Applied OR I: Optimization Approaches, Applied OR II: Forecasting Approaches and Financial Modelling: Impacts of Energy Policies and Developments in Energy Markets. The book appeals to scholars in economics, finance and operations research, and to practitioners working in the energy sector. This is the eighth volume in a series of books on energy organized by the Centre for Energy and Value Issues (CEVI). For this volume, CEVI collaborated with Hacettepe University's Energy Markets Research and Application Center. The previous volumes in the series are: Financial Aspects in Energy (2011), Energy Economics and Financial Markets (2012), Perspectives on Energy Risk (2014), Energy Technology and Valuation Issues (2015), Energy and Finance (2016), Energy Economy, Finance and Geostrategy (2018), and Financial Implications of Regulations in the Energy Industry (2020).
