Optimization Methods in Engineering

This book comprises peer-reviewed contributions from the International Conference on Production and Industrial Engineering (CPIE) 2019. This volume provides insights into the current scenario and advances in the domain of industrial and production engineering in the context of optimum value. Optimization and its applicability in various areas of production and industrial engineering like selection of designing parameters and machining parameters, decisions related to conditions of optimum process/operation parameters, behavior of response variables, facilities planning and management, transportation and supply chain management, quality engineering, reliability and maintenance, product design and development, human factors and ergonomics, service system and service management, waste management, sustainable manufacturing and operations, systems design, and performance measurement are discussed in the book. Given the range of topics covered, this book can be useful for students, researchers, and professionals interested in latest optimization techniques related to industrial and production engineering.
