Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
The text discusses concepts of operations research using practical and theoretical approach, with the help of several case studies. It will be an ideal reference text for senior undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of mechanical engineering, civil engineering, industrial engineering, and production engineering.
MoreLong description:
The field of operations research provides a scientific approach to managerial decision making. In a contemporary, hypercompetitive ever-changing business world, a manager needs quantitative and factual ways of solving problems related to optimal allocation of resources, profit/loss, maximization/minimization etc. In this endeavor, the subject of doing research on how to manage and make operations efficient is termed as Operations Research.
The reference text provides conceptual and analytical knowledge for various operations research techniques. Readers, especially students of this subject, are skeptic in dealing with the subject because of its emphasis on mathematics. However, this book has tried to remove such doubts by focusing on the application part of OR techniques with minimal usage of mathematics. The attempt was to make students comfortable with some complicated topics of the subject. It covers important concepts including sensitivity analysis, duality theory, transportation solution method, Hungarian algorithm, program evaluation and review technique and periodic review system.
Aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of mechanical engineering, civil engineering, industrial engineering and production engineering, this book:
• Discusses extensive use of Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and formulas in solving operations research problems
• Provides case studies and unsolved exercises at the end of each chapter
• Covers industrial applications of various operations research techniques in a comprehensive manner
• Discusses creating spreadsheets and using different Excel formulas in an easy-to-understand manner
• Covers problem-solving procedures for techniques including linear programming, transportation model and game theory
Table of Contents:
1. OPERATIONS RESEARCH: AN INTRODUCTION. 2. LINEAR PROGRAMMING. 3. LINEAR PROGRAMMING: SIMPLEX METHOD. 4. SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS AND DUALITY THEORY. 5. NETWORK MODEL I: TRANSPORTATION MODEL. 6. NETWORK MODEL II: ASSIGNMENT MODEL. 7. NETWORK MODEL III: TRAVELLING SALESMAN, VEHICLE ROUTING AND SHORTEST PATH PROBLEM. 8. PROJECT SCHEDULING: PERT AND CPM. 9. GAME THEORY.
