Summary:

Resource Allocation is the utilization of available resources in the system. This book focuses on development of models for 6 new, complex classes of RA problems in Supply Chain networks, focusing on bi-objectives, dynamic input data, and multiple performance measure based allocation and integrated allocation, and routing with complex constraints.
