A classic of the OR/MS field

This book is a classic of the OR/MS field, exploring the mathematical models underlying the scheduling theory at that time (50's and 60's). One of the outstanding products of the golden years of RAND Corporation. A time when brilliant mathematicians (Bellman , Conway, Dantzig, Ford, Fulkerson, Nash and von Neumann to list a few) working to USA government (RAND, US Army, etc) have developed much of what would become the solid foundation of the OR/MS field. Book topics include problems of sequence, measures for schedule evaluation, finite sequencing for a single machine, and further problems with one operation per job. Additional chapters covers flow shop scheduling, the general n/m job-shop problem, general network problems related to scheduling, selection disciplines in a single-server queuing system, single-server queuing systems with setup classes, multiple-server queuing models, and experimental investigation of the continuous job-shop process.
