Operations Management in Agriculture bridges the gap in state-of-the-art knowledge on operations management for agricultural machinery. complementing traditional perspectives on specific topics such as the cost of using and choosing machinery, the book explores recent advances in system and operations engineering approaches, including area coverage planning and sequential scheduling. In parallel, the book covers robotics and lot, as well as other emerging technologies pertaining to the management of bioproduction systems and their compliance with environmental considerations. Using a systems engineering perspective rather than a mechanical engineering one, Operations Management in Agriculture focuses on subsystems and provides insights into advanced optimization, supply chain systems, sustainability, autonomous vehicles, and IT-driven decision making. This book is valuable for students seeking to understand decision-making factors as well as for those working daily to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability of production.--COVER
