This book presents the proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Management Science and Engineering Management (ICMSEM2016) held from August 30 to September 02, 2016 at Baku, Azerbaijan and organized by the International Society of Management Science and Engineering Management, Sichuan University (Chengdu, China) and Ministry of Education of Azerbaijan. The aim of conference was to foster international research collaborations in management science and engineering management as well as to provide a forum to present current research findings. The presented papers were selected and reviewed by the Program Committee, made up of respected experts in the area of management science and engineering management from around the globe. The contributions focus on identifying management science problems in engineering, innovatively using management theory and methods to solve engineering problems effectively and establishing novel management theories and methods to address new engineering management issues.

Professor Jiuping Xu is the associate vice president of Sichuan University, the dean of Sichuan University's Business School, and the executive director of the Low-carbon Technology and Economic Engineering Research Center there. He is also the editor-in-chief of the 'International Journal of Management Science and Engineering Management', 'World Journal of Modeling and Simulation', and was also the associate editor of 'Systematic Engineering Theory and Practice', associate director of the National Systematic Engineering Association, a member of the Academic Group of Sichuan University, and director of the Management Science and Engineering Doctoral Station.

Professor Asaf is a member of editorial board of the International Journal of Applied and Computational Mathematics, Transactions of the Azerbaijan National academy of Sciences, ser. Mathematics and Mechanics and TWMJ - the Turkish World Mathematical Journal; He is also co-editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Management Science and Engineering Management.

Stefan Nickel obtained his PhD in mathematics at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern, Germany in 1995. From 1995 to 2003 he was first assistant and then associate professor in mathematics at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern. After a full professor position at the Saarland University (Chair of Operations Research and Logistics) from 2003 to 2009 he became one of the directors of the Institute for Operations Research at the KIT in April 2009.

Professor Mitsuo Gen is a professor at the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the Ashikaga Institute of Technology in Japan. An associate editor of the Engineering Design and Automation Journal and Journal of Engineering Valuation & Cost Analysis, he is also a member of the international editorial advisory board of Computers & Industrial Engineering. He is the author of two other books: Linear Programming Using Turbo C and Goal Programming Using Turbo C.
