Formulating logic conditions in linear programs can be difficult. This two-part article series explains how, using easy to follow steps.
This article replicates and extends a transportation optimization model for managing a COVID-19 vaccination plan in Hong Kong.
Given available stock of wire and a list of pieces required, what is the best way to cut the stock to fulfil demand while minimizing waste?
This article series implements a staff scheduling model in Excel using OpenSolver, then in Python using Pyomo.
We run optimization model cases 10 times faster, fully using the parallel capabilities of the CPU cores/threads in a modern computer.
We've collated many interesting optimization models in our GitHub repository. The focus is on Excel and Python models.
How many other optimal solutions exist? How do I find those solutions. This article explains how to use the CPLEX solution pool.
We minimize the number of racks required to accommodate all pallets in a warehouse, freeing space for other activities and allowing company growth.
