Artificial Intelligence and Optimization Techniques for Smart Information System Generations

Description

This book stands on the shoulders of sustainability engineering insights to identify blind spots in conventional business, engineering, and environmental school curricula that result in substantial missed opportunities. Harvesting these financial gains provides resources to secure environmental and social outcomes. Cutting through the clutter of terminology and approaches, this book uses case studies to outline a proven path to profitably secure “net zero” for facilities and their supply chains. And rather than stopping at the uninspiring target of “doing no harm” it further empowers businesses and other organizations to create additional economic, environmental, and social benefits. • Offers numerous case studies to illustrate how to reduce environmental footprints while increasing profit margin and business value. • Explores redemptive entrepreneurship through the lens of the author’s founding of an award-winning engineering firm. • Presents strategies to strengthen the curricula of engineering, business, accounting, and procurement programs by uncovering significant sources of untapped value in conventional teaching.
