This article series implements a staff scheduling model in Excel using OpenSolver, then in Python using Pyomo.
This article replicates and extends a transportation optimization model for managing a COVID-19 vaccination plan in Hong Kong.
We explore two aspects of refactoring an existing optimization model: Modularization and adding model variations.
This series of 13 articles compares Python libraries Pyomo, PuLP, OR-Tools, Gekko, CVXPY, and SciPy for building a linear programming model.
Designing an optimization model is difficult. This article explains common mathematical notation used to define optimization model formulations.
We present an example of project crashing using an optimization model to help the project manager decide what to do.
Bin packing is a common optimization problem. A new formulation helps us solve a simple, yet difficult to solve, bin packing model.
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?
