Guidelines are provided to determine the arc\nmultipliers that capture perish ability of the product whether food,\nradioisotopes, or even highly perishable blood in healthcare over space and\ntime. Through case studies the authors portray the application of the models\nand algorithms to real-world sectors which illustrate the power of the\nframework in practice. The models and algorithms are fully described along with\nthe input and output data in the case studies. This level of transparency is\nuseful pedagogically as well as for future research and for applications in\npractice.\n\nResearchers\nand practitioners in mathematics, in operations research and management\nscience, operations management, as well as in economics and computer science\nwill find this book useful to gain a broader appreciation of the richness of\nnetwork supply chain structures, processes, and applications. This book can\nalso be used by advanced undergraduate students and graduate students in the\ndisciplines noted above to familiarize themselves with methodologies and supply\nchain network models and applications.​​\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-01-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461462767\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-6277-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 142\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45383190839436,"sku":"9781461462767","price":44.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461462767_f84e53a3-31d9-4f29-a5c9-aa1bffe4a3fd.jpg?v=1775790176","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461462767","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
