How many other optimal solutions exist? How do I find those solutions. This article explains how to use the CPLEX solution pool.
We experiment with the new Python in Excel feature, building and solving a linear program using the Python SciPy library.
Optimal facility location is a common & difficult decision that organizations need to make. We build a location optimization model in Excel.
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.
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 trim waste in a paper manufacturing process. A theoretically perfect solution is impractical, so what can we do?
Crossword puzzles are a popular pastime. We design and build Mixed Integer Linear Programming models to compile crossword puzzles.
