It describes a series of multi-item inventory models and presents exact and heuristic optimization methods, including greedy heuristics that work well for real, life-sized problems. The intended audience consists of graduate students, starting scholars in the field of spare parts inventory control, and spare parts planning specialists in the industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn individual chapters the authors consider topics including: a basic single-location model; single-location models with multiple machine types and\/or machine groups; the multi-location model with lateral transshipments; the classical METRIC model and its generalization to multi-indenture systems; and a single-location model with an explicit modeling of the repair capacity for failed parts and the priorities that one can set there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVarious chapters of the book are used in a master course at Eindhoven University of Technology and in a PhD course of the Graduate Program Operations Management and Logistics (a Dutch network that organizes PhD courses in the field of OM\u0026amp;L). The required pre-knowledge consists of probability theory and basic knowledge of Markov processes and queuing theory.  End-of-chapter problems appear for all chapters, with some answers appearing in an appendix.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-05-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781489976086\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4899-7609-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 215\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378484502668,"sku":"9781489976086","price":143.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781489976086.jpg?v=1775004839","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781489976086","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
