How many other optimal solutions exist? How do I find those solutions. This article explains how to use the CPLEX solution pool.
Crossword puzzles are a popular pastime. We design and build Mixed Integer Linear Programming models to compile crossword puzzles.
This series explores optimization of a "picking warehouse" by improving the warehouse design and efficiency of the picking process.
To compare optimization modelling in Excel and Python, we replicate a Python model then compare it with an equivalent Excel implementation.
We estimate the speed improvement for optimization solvers in the 35 years from 1989 to 2024. The results may be surprising.
Sometimes we need more power to solve a model. This article describes how to solve a model using the CPLEX solver via the NEOS Server.
We minimize the number of racks required to accommodate all pallets in a warehouse, freeing space for other activities and allowing company growth.
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?
