Supply chain scheduling is a relatively young field of study, with a mere 20 years of history under its belt. It is a fascinating intersection of two traditional domains: supply chain management and scheduling. In this comprehensive book, the authors offer a thorough exploration of supply chain scheduling, covering a wide range of applications, solution algorithms, conflict evaluation, and models that promote collaboration among decision-makers.

Supply chain scheduling delves into the intricate details of scheduling within supply chains, driven by a diverse array of real-world applications. The book encompasses a diverse range of topics, including:

Coordinated decision-making in centralized supply chains, encompassing integrated production and distribution scheduling, joint scheduling and product pricing, and coordinated subcontracting and scheduling.

Coordination and competition challenges in decentralized supply chains, involving the complexities of conflict and cooperation within scheduling decisions made by different parties across supply chains, as well as the exploration of both cooperative and non-cooperative supply chain scheduling games.

Within each of these topics, the book presents a series of representative problems. The authors meticulously define these problems mathematically, providing insights into their corresponding applications. They then introduce robust solution methods to enhance supply chain performance, offering valuable tools and techniques for practitioners and researchers alike.

This comprehensive guide is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand and optimize supply chain scheduling. It provides a deep dive into the latest research, trends, and best practices, empowering professionals to make informed decisions and drive efficiency in their supply chain operations. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a newcomer to the field, this book will serve as a valuable companion on your journey toward supply chain excellence.
