Given available resources, what mix of products will maximize profit? We can answer to question using Excel and the Solver add-in.
We compare a linear programming model written using Julia/JuMP with the same model written using Python/Pyomo.
We present an example of project crashing using an optimization model to help the project manager decide what to do.
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 estimate the speed improvement for optimization solvers in the 35 years from 1989 to 2024. The results may be surprising.
This article series implements a staff scheduling model in Excel using OpenSolver, then in Python using Pyomo.
The selection of a better fantasy sports team can substantially improve performance. Excel plus OpenSolver can pick an optimal team.
