Operations Research Applications in Space Systems Development and Operations

  • Chapter
Operations Research in Space and Air

Part of the book series: Applied Optimization ((APOP,volume 79))

Abstract

Recent industry management makes large use of Operations Research methodologies to optimize the development, integration, and testing costs and schedule.

This chapter provides an overview of the potential of an extensive application of Operations Research in the space industry, with an adequate use of enabling concurrent and collaborative engineering technologies.
