This book presents innovative operations research applications in business, specifically industrial engineering and its sub-disciplines. It investigates new perspectives in operations research and management science with regard to research methods, the research context, and industrial engineering, offering readers a broad range of new approaches to management problems. The book features the latest work of researchers who have worked with Professor Fusun Ulengin or built upon her work in their academic careers. Written in honor of Prof. Ulengin, this book was edited by her former Ph.D. students, who are now experts in operations research, multiple criteria decision making, competitiveness, logistics, and supply chain management. Prof. Ulengin’s impact in academia is visible in the range of topics and methodologies featured in this book: Location and transportation problems, competitiveness of nations, food supply chains, debt collection, mathematical modelling, multiple criteria decision making, data envelopment analysis, random forests, and Bayesian networks.

Topics treated include: computer-aided manufacturing, Industry 4.0, big data and analytics, flexible manufacturing systems, fuzzy logic, industrial applications, information technologies in production management, optimization, production economy, production planning and control, productivity and performance management, project management, quality management, risk analysis and management, and supply chain management
"Abstract: Supply chain management contends with structures and processes for delivering goods and services to customers. It addresses the core functions of connected businesses to meet downstream demand. This innovative volume provides an authoritative and timely guide to the overarching issues that are ubiquitous throughout the supply chain. In particular, it addresses emerging issues that are applicable across supply chains-such as data science, financial flows, human capital, internet technologies, risk management, cyber security, and supply networks. With chapters from an international roster of leading scholars in the field, The Oxford Handbook of Supply Chain Management is a necessary resource for all students and researchers of the field as well as for forward-thinking practitioners. Keywords: supply chain management; value; human society; goods and services; competitive advantage; people and welfare; data and technology; moving goods and services; structure and strategy; growing and sustaining"--
As the outcome of the sixth international congress, the papers in this volume cover a wide range of topics related to the main theme of the conference, titled “Current Debates in Social Sciences”, and basically focus on economics and econometrics. Even though most of the papers deal with the empirical analysis, there are also studies on economic debate. In this context, the articles in the book draw attention to the different aspects of economics and econometrics such as behavioural economics, exchange rate, export and import relations in Turkey, electricity consumption and growth relations, game theory, health status of females ,impact of the Chinese economy on Turkish economy. We believe that these studies would contribute to the development of debates in social sciences and encourage interdisciplinary approaches.
Benim çocukluğum zamanlarında herkesin bağında, bahçesinde yetiştirilen her türlü meyveler, sebzeler sanki sahibinin değil de herkesin idi. Her aile yetiştirdiği ürünleri sırf kendisinin istifadesine değil de başka ihtiyaç sahiplerinin yararlanması niyetiyle yetiştirirdi. Karşılıksız iyiliğin hâkim olduğu zamanlar idi. Kişi, sanki karşılıksız iyilik yapmaktan mutlu olurdu. Belki fiyatların bu kadar artmadığı, her şeyin maddiyatla hesaplandığı bir zaman değildir. Sanki cömertlik, iyilik duyguları, toplumun üstüne yapışmıştı. Herkes imkanına göre bağını bahçesini yetiştirir. Meyvesini sebzesini hasılat ederdi. Ancak meyvelerden sebzeler...

This book presents the latest technologies and operational methods available to support sustainable freight transport practices. It highlights market requirements, cutting edge applications, and case studies from innovators in the logistics services industry. The goal is to help bridge the gap between advanced computational techniques and complex applied problems such as those in sustainable transport and logistics operations. Freight transport has traditionally focused on costs and service levels. However, it is no longer possible or socially responsible to neglect the environmental, social, climate, and energy implications of the freight moving globally. This book places sustainability at ...
Today’s educational landscape requires practitioners to move from a teacher-centric to a more inclusive and student-centric approach. To address the diverse needs of students, educators must understand the challenges they face, and learn how to address them. This volume highlights the significance of diversity and inclusion practices in educational institutions.
