The volume contains latest research on software reliability assessment, testing, quality management, inventory management, mathematical modeling, analysis using soft computing techniques and management analytics. It links researcher and practitioner perspectives from different branches of engineering and management, and from around the world for a bird's eye view on the topics. The interdisciplinarity of engineering and management research is widely recognized and considered to be the most appropriate and significant in the fast changing dynamics of today's times. With insights from the volume, companies looking to drive decision making are provided actionable insight on each level and for every role using key indicators, to generate mobile-enabled scorecards, time-series based analysis using charts, and dashboards. At the same time, the book provides scholars with a platform to derive maximum utility in the area by subscribing to the idea of managing business through performanceand business analytics.

Emphasizes the significance of interdisciplinary research for solving industrial and business problems Provides a conceptual and practical approach to model real-world scenarios prevailing in the field of engineering and management Offers cutting-edge developments and findings to deal with executive issues Discusses managerial implications of new methodical approaches for practice, policy, and future research
