Added text mini-updates appear throughout the book.
Computational issues in the revised simplex method appear in Chapter 7, including a comparison between product form and the LU decomposition used with the revised simplex method.
Using a brief introduction, inventory modeling is presented within the more encompassing context of supply chains.
This edition adds two new case analyses, resulting in a total 17 fully-developed real-life applications. All the cases appear in chapter 26 on the website and are cross-referenced throughout the book using abstracts at the start of their most applicable chapters.
All problems now appear at end of their respective chapters and are cross-referenced by text section to facilitate making problem assignments.
New problems have been added.
TORA software has been updated.
