textDisruption management is about how to deal with uncertainties in the
execution period of an operational plan. While it has been successfully applied
in airlines scheduling, the research of disruption management in manufacturing
and logistics is still in its infancy. In this disertation, we study several dsiruption
management problems in machine scheduling, production planning, supply
chain coordination, and class scheduling for pilot training. We address various
disruptions, propose mathematical models, and present solution schemes. This
research is one of the first attempts to systematically study disruption management
in manufacturing and logistics, and has both important theoritical and
practical contributions.Managemen
