We report our experience of Copilot coding a non-trivial optimization model, focussing on what went well and what didn't go well as the model evolves.
Minimize the number of racks to store all pallets in a warehouse, freeing space for other activities and allowing company growth.
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 minimize trim waste in a paper manufacturing process. A theoretically perfect solution is impractical, so what can we do?
We've collated links to dozens of websites about optimization modelling. The links are organized into several categories.
This series of 13 articles compares Python libraries Pyomo, PuLP, OR-Tools, Gekko, CVXPY, and SciPy for building a linear programming model.
Academic research papers can be tremendously valuable. But only if they are complete. So, academics, please publish your data and code.
Formulating logic conditions in linear programs can be difficult. This two-part article series explains how, using easy to follow steps.
This article series implements a staff scheduling model in Excel using OpenSolver, then in Python using Pyomo.
We estimate the speed improvement for optimization solvers in the 35 years from 1989 to 2024. The results may be surprising.
