Features: Agile manufacturing is the manufacturing technology of the 21st century. Its production operation model based on the Internet and "project-driven" and its production organization method of "dynamic alliance" put forward new requirements for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and bring a series of new decision-making optimization problems. This book can be used by researchers and engineering technicians engaged in BRP design and development, research and application of agile manufacturing, systems engineering, and operational research teaching and research. For graduate students and senior students in systems engineering, management engineering, and computational mathematics, it is a reference book covering multiple fields. In response to the new functional requirements of agile manufacturing, supported by the national program CIMS theme, the author and his research team designed and developed an experimental ERP software system oriented to agile manufacturing, abbreviated as AM/ERP. In addition to the main functions of general ERP software, this system can also support the "opportunity-driven" operation mode of agile manufacturing and the formation and dissolution mode of dynamic alliances. To meet the needs of AM/ERP, the author discussed several related optimization problems, proposed basic mathematical models for some of the problems, and analyzed and discussed the corresponding solution methods, extensions of basic problems, specific algorithms of the models, and performance.
