We minimize the number of racks required to accommodate all pallets in a warehouse, freeing space for other activities and allowing company growth.
This series explores optimization of a "picking warehouse" by improving the warehouse design and efficiency of the picking process.
We describe an example of how to represent price breaks in a linear programming model, built in Excel using Solver or OpenSolver.
Crossword puzzles are a popular pastime. We design and build Mixed Integer Linear Programming models to compile crossword puzzles.
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 stock of wire and a list of pieces required, what is the best way to cut the stock to fulfil demand while minimizing waste?
Designing an optimization model is difficult. This article explains common mathematical notation used to define optimization model formulations.
We've collated links to dozens of websites about optimization modelling. The links are organized into several categories.
