Abstract
In this dissertation, we demonstrate how operations research (OR) methods can be effectively implemented in advanced manufacturing environments in order to im- prove decision-making processes. Most manufacturing processes inevitably involve difficult decisions which can be formulated as optimization problems. Applying an- alytical methods to these problems and selecting an efficient solution approach can improve significantly manufacturing performance. In this dissertation, we illustrate how OR methods can contribute to advanced manufacturing through two real-world applications.
