We've collated links to dozens of websites about optimization modelling. The links are organized into several categories.
Optimal facility location is a common & difficult decision that organizations need to make. We build a location optimization model in Excel.
Crossword puzzles are a popular pastime. We design and build Mixed Integer Linear Programming models to compile crossword puzzles.
We explore two aspects of refactoring an existing optimization model: Modularization and adding model variations.
Designing an optimization model is difficult. This article explains common mathematical notation used to define optimization model formulations.
Job sequencing is a common problem. Excel Solver can help managers make optimal job sequencing decisions to minimize cost.
Bin packing is a common optimization problem. A new formulation helps us solve a simple, yet difficult to solve, bin packing model.
We describe an example of how to represent price breaks in a linear programming model, built in Excel using Solver or OpenSolver.
