From the reviews:
“This course resource by Eiselt … is an introduction to operations research at the undergraduate level. The book introduces a wide variety of deterministic and stochastic operations research models, including linear and integer programming, network flows, facility location problems, machine scheduling problems, inventory models, queuing models, and discrete event simulation models. … Summing Up: Recommended. Business and industrial engineering collections serving upper-division undergraduates.” (B. Borchers, Choice, Vol. 48 (3), November, 2010)
“The book gives an overview of the operations research models applied in many practical problems. … The book is a great contribution to the OR models’ application and can be a significant help to the decision makers.” (Kristina Šorić, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1198, 2010)
