Reihe: Operations Research Series

This adv. undergraduate and graduate textbook prepares the industrial engineering student on how to deal with a variety of problems that require making decisions involving multiple criteria and/or uncertainty/risk. This book is designed for students who are studying industrial engineering, but it could also be used in programs designed for business/mgmt. as well.

Comprehensive in coverage and related areas such as simulation optimization. It also emphasis applications involving industrial engineering, engineering economics, location and layout design, quality mgmt., project mgmt., healthcare mgmt. & operations, and the use of simulation for system design & operations in general.

Gerald W. Evans is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Industrial Engineering at the University of Louisville (UL). His research and teaching interests lie in the areas of multiciteria decision analysis, simulation modeling and analysis, optimization, logistics and project management.

Dr. Evans received his BS in Mathematics in 1972, his MS in Industrial Engineering in 1974, and his PhD in Industrial Engineering in 1979, all from Purdue University.

Dr. Evans has served as Principal Investigator or Co-Principal Investigator on over $3 million of funded research from organizations such as the National Science Foundation, the Defense Logistics Agency, NASA, the National Institute for Hometown Security, Louisville Metro Government, General Electric, and United Parcel Services among other organizations. In addition, he has consulted in the areas of simulation modeling and analysis, project management, and economic analysis for a variety of organizations.

He has published approximately 100 papers in various journals and conference proceedings.

Dr. Evans has received the Fellow Award and the Operations Research Division Award from IIE, the Moving Spirit Award from INFORMS for his work with the UL INFORMS Student Chapter, the Dean's Award for Outstanding Graduate Teaching; and he was a University of Louisville nominee for Outstanding Faculty of Adult Learners for Kentuckiana Metroversity Inc. He is listed in American Men and Women of Science, Who's Who in Engineering, and Who's Who in America.
