We estimate the speed improvement for optimization solvers in the 35 years from 1989 to 2024. The results may be surprising.
We minimize the number of racks required to accommodate all pallets in a warehouse, freeing space for other activities and allowing company growth.
We present an example of project crashing using an optimization model to help the project manager decide what to do.
We replicate a wood cutting pattern model from a published academic paper. Surprisingly, we find a better optimal solution.
We compare a linear programming model written using Julia/JuMP with the same model written using Python/Pyomo.
Formulating logic conditions in linear programs can be difficult. This two-part article series explains how, using easy to follow steps.
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.
Given available resources, what mix of products will maximize profit? We can answer to question using Excel and the Solver add-in.
