This series explores optimization of a "picking warehouse" by improving the warehouse design and efficiency of the picking process.
We present an example of project crashing using an optimization model to help the project manager decide what to do.
Allocating people to teams is a task common in both sport and business. We allocate 32 people to 4 teams that are as balanced as possible.
Academic research papers can be tremendously valuable. But only if they are complete. So, academics, please publish your data and code.
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?
Optimal facility location is a common & difficult decision that organizations need to make. We build a location optimization model in Excel.
Minimize the number of racks to store all pallets in a warehouse, freeing space for other activities and allowing company growth.
Formulating logic conditions in linear programs can be difficult. This two-part article series explains how, using easy to follow steps.
We've collated many interesting optimization models in our GitHub repository. The focus is on Excel and Python models.
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?
We estimate the speed improvement for optimization solvers in the 35 years from 1989 to 2024. The results may be surprising.
