I had the opportunity of working this book at a Colombian university, and I think it has all tools to be used in any manufacturing system by integrating helpful heuristics and algorithms. I frecuently use this book to solve some problems in my current job at a manufacturing company.

If you are an IE and you don't have this book, there might be some problems :) Well, Askin and Standridge did a great job in compiling almost any manufacturing/production system in a single comprehensive textbook. Any chapter is sufficient for basic understanding (including basic model), but further studies are given. Having this book along with Factory Physics is such a full of joy to be IE.

If you want to see how to apply Operation Research in Manufacturing System, this is the book.

I am looking forward to the update edition of this title.

I ordered this thing at the beginning of school and it's now midterm. I finally have my book. I don't care where this thing came from, if a sherpa could get it here faster during his Fall sebatacle, then I'm a little displeased with the postal service in whatever country this came from. Other than that, great price.

It does not elaborate enough on its explanations. If you have no previous knowledge of the subjects in the book, then you should not try to read it alone, because it skips to problem solving withouth giving the basic explanation about formulation rules and methods.
