“The book provides a technically sound, yet very readable, description of

various state-of-the-art mathematical programming techniques that can be

used to tackle relevant operations planning problems. … Because it covers

a wide range of techniques, the book can also be used to introduce readers

to various concepts in mathematical programming, even if they don’t

have a particular interest in operations planning. In that case, the specic

operations planning problems merely serve to illustrate the techniques.”

—Albert P.M. Wagelmans, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands

“… an excellent treatment of many important issues in operations planning.

… Dr. Geunes offers various optimization models (building on the concepts

introduced earlier) contributed by researchers in the eld. Finally, there are

just enough exercises and examples provided to make this book more than

simply a technical reference on each subject.”

—Kevin Taaffe, Associate Professor, Clemson University

A reference for those working at the interface

of operations planning and optimization

modeling, Operations Planning: Mixed

Integer Optimization Models blends

essential theory and powerful approaches

to practical operations planning problems.

It presents a set of classical optimization

models with widespread application in

operations planning. The discussion of each

of these classical models begins with the

motivation for studying the problem as well

as examples of the problem’s application

in operations planning contexts. The book

explores special structural results and

properties of optimal solutions that have led

to effective algorithmic solution approaches

for each problem class.
