| Summary |
The book presents several highly selected cases in emerging countries where the production-logistics systems have been optimized or improved with the support of mathematical models. The book contains a selection of papers from the 5th International Conference on Production Research (ICPR) Americas 2010 held on July 21-23 in Bogotá, Colombia. The main topic of the conference was Technologies in Logistics and Manufacturing for Small and Medium Enterprises which is perfectly aligned with the realities of emerging countries.
