Résumé
"The book presents an impressive overview of the scheduling theory and practice applied to supply chain models (which are present everywhere!), an extensive reference is given for all the work done in scheduling over more than 60 years ... . It is detailed and presents illustrating numerical examples, it contains several algorithms and NP-hardness proofs, each chapter has a concluding part with further research ideas." (Helmut G. Kahlbacher, zbMATH 1498.90002, 2022)
