• 1. Introduction.- 2. Mathematical Fundamentals of Optimal Control.- 3. One-Item Single-Facility Aggregate Production Planning Problems.- 4. Production Planning at Different Levels of Aggregation.- 5. Modeling Production Systems With Multi-Level Bills of Materials.- 6. Necessary Optimality Conditions for Scheduling Problems.- 7. Solution Methods.- 8. Implementation Methodology.- 9. Cases of Practical Scheduling.

'Overall, the book provides an excellent, up-to-date overview of continous-time, deterministic models for production planning and scheduling. It is a book that your university library should certainly have, and which is well worth owning if you are interested in research or applications in this area.' Automatica, Vol.37 (2001)
