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.
We compare a linear programming model written using Julia/JuMP with the same model written using Python/Pyomo.
Optimal facility location is a common & difficult decision that organizations need to make. We build a location optimization model in Excel.
This series explores optimization of a "picking warehouse" by improving the warehouse design and efficiency of the picking process.
We experiment with the new Python in Excel feature, building and solving a linear program using the Python SciPy library.
How many other optimal solutions exist? How do I find those solutions. This article explains how to use the CPLEX solution pool.
We minimize trim waste in a paper manufacturing process. A theoretically perfect solution is impractical, so what can we do?
