Preface

In this book, we aim to discuss the main different techniques and to manage and optimize the production and service systems. There are a lot of issues related to the optimization of production systems according to the decision level to consider. For a decision system, we have three main levels: the long term (strategy), the middle term (tactical) and short term (operational). We consider also a new level, which is in fact a sublevel of the short term, the online management. For each level, some specific problems need to be solved and each of them needs an appropriate resolution approach. The problems we could consider are the line design, the line balancing optimization, the physical layout of the production or service system, the forecasting optimization, the invento
