China, India y la economia mundial' da una mirada desapasionada y critica al crecimiento de estos dos paises, y postula algunas preguntas dificiles acerca de este ascenso: Donde esta ocurriendo? Quien se esta beneficiando mas? Es sostenible? Cuales son las implicaciones para el resto del mundo? A traves de seis ensayos, su principal proposito es resaltar algunas de las mayores implicaciones para la economia mundial del crecimiento de China e India. El libro examina las interacciones de estos dos paises con otros, via evolucion de sus capacidades industriales, su comercio internacional y el sistema financiero internacional, y describe posibles restricciones e influencias sobre su crecimiento (inequidad y gobernabilidad). Tambien analiza las restricciones locales y las perspectivas globales en energia y emisiones. Cada capitulo identifica un aspecto del crecimiento y discute, cuantitativa o cualitativamente, el tipo de factores que se deben considerar al proyectar su continuacion o sus efectos para determinar tendencias a mas largo plazo y ofrecer informacion al diseno de politicas durante los siguientes anos. Este libro es ademas una importante contribucion a la campana mundial para la reduccion de la pobreza. El hecho de que China e India hayan sido capaces de lograr que cientos de millones de personas salgan de la pobreza en las recientes decadas ofrece esperanza al resto del mundo.

This book presents examples of engineering applications; particularly Industrial Engineering applications. Six distinct cases are included. The applications range from product design to quality control. The emphasis is on developing methodologies that can enhance utilization of resources. Case studies are important in demonstrating the use of engineering design principles and methodologies. The published literature, however, shows a paucity of cases that may be used for teaching and learning purposes. The reasons for a dearth of published case studies are many, including the propriety nature of problems and confidentiality of data. Such issues are further aggravated as many companies are self-insured and are reluctant to share information with outsiders.

Since the late 1940s, linear programming models have been used for many different purposes. Airline companies apply these models to optimize their use of planes and staff. NASA has been using them for many years to optimize their use of limited resources. Oil companies use them to optimize their refinery operations. Small and medium-sized businesses use linear programming to solve a huge variety of problems, often involving resource allocation. In my study, a typical product-mix problem in a manufacturing system producing two products (each product consists of two sub-assemblies) is solved for its optimal solution through the use of the latest versions of MATLAB having the command simlp, which is very much like linprog. As analysts, we try to find a good enough solution for the decision maker to make a final decision. Our attempt is to give the mathematical description of the product-mix optimization problem and bring the problem into a form ready to call MATLAB's simlp command. The objective of this study is to find the best product mix that maximizes profit. The graph obtained using MATLAB commands, give the shaded area enclosed by the constraints called the feasible region, which is the set of points satisfying all the constraints. To find the optimal solution we look at the lines of equal profit to find the corner of the feasible region which yield the highest profit. This corner can be found out at the farthest line of equal profit, which still touches the feasible region. The most critical part is the sensitivity analysis, using Excel Solver, and Parametric Analysis, using computer software, which allows us to study the effect on optimal solution due to discrete and continuous change in parameters of the LP model including to identify bottlenecks. We have examined other options like product outsourcing, one-time cost, cross training of one operator, manufacturing of hypothetical third product on under-utilized machines and optimal sequencing of jobs on machines.
