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 replicates and extends a transportation optimization model for managing a COVID-19 vaccination plan in Hong Kong.
We compare a linear programming model written using Julia/JuMP with the same model written using Python/Pyomo.
We experiment with the new Python in Excel feature, building and solving a linear program using the Python SciPy library.
We've collated links to dozens of websites about optimization modelling. The links are organized into several categories.
Allocating people to teams is a task common in both sport and business. We allocate 32 people to 4 teams that are as balanced as possible.
Why does my model find different solutions? Some solutions are better than others – how can that be true? How do I find the overall best solution?
We present an example of project crashing using an optimization model to help the project manager decide what to do.
