Features: This book is a monograph in China that applies operational research theory and methods to study decision-making and optimization problems in the equipment field. The book consists of four chapters. The first chapter discusses the origin of the term "operational research" and elaborates on the development of military operational research, analyzes the background of equipment operational research, and proposes its research content. The following three chapters focus on decision-making and optimization theories and methods commonly used in the full-system, full-life management of equipment. The main research areas include the allocation of limited resources, transportation problems under time-cost constraints, and arrangement problems in procurement and loading matching.
Focusing on the characteristics of decision-making and optimization problems in the equipment field, the author establishes a bounded-variable linear programming duality theory and applies this theory to provide models and unified algorithms for solving the aforementioned problems. The book not only emphasizes the systematic presentation of theory and methods but also focuses on deriving problem models from practical examples in the equipment field, followed by algorithm research and broadening the scope of application. It strives to connect theory with practice, aiming for both depth and clarity.
This book is suitable for theoretical and applied researchers engaged in equipment development argumentation, equipment procurement, equipment support, and equipment planning management, as well as teachers, Ph.D. students, and master's students in military equipment science, military operational research, and combat command at military academies.
