Optimal Inventory Management & Procurement
Minimum cost inventory stocking, bid selection, purchasing with logistics, food formulation, alloy blending, grocery shopping, and many more.
- Distinct mathematical models for product design, procurement from suppliers, scheduling inventory into production, lot sequencing into batches, blend assembly, and blend correction.
- Optimize for multiple time-periods, multiple locations, multiple suppliers with distinct costs and other factors, full truck load purchases, complex bill-of-materials rules (user defined), minimum and maximum inventory levels, shipping costs, and more.
Optimal Product Mix & Pricing
Maximum profit product mix and pricing; manufacturer or services product mix, product mix with shipping; crop planning, ad buy, raw material or other initial products with disassembly and reassembly to final product.
- Mathematical models for product mix, product mix with shipping, order fulfillment, processing steps inclusive of disassembly and reassembly steps, and pricing.
- Optimize for multiple time-periods, multiple locations, multiple customers with order fulfillment priorities, ship dates, suppliers with distinct costs and other factors, full truck load purchases, complex bill-of-materials rules (user defined), minimum and maximum inventory levels, shipping costs, and more.
Optimal Supply Chain & Production Scheduling
Supply Chain Planning, Production Scheduling, Facility Location, Batch Sequencing.
- Models solve for minimum cost or maximum profit as directed.
- Optimize Supply Chain for:
- Raw material acquisition
- Finished product production
- Finished goods inventory
- Shipments directly from plants to markets
- Raw material inventory
- Intermediate product production
- Shipments to distribution centers
- Shipments from distribution centers to markets
- Market demands with prices for each product
- Optimize product plans for minimum costs changeovers and cleanups.
Optimal Shipping & Routing
Shipping with multi-locations, multiple-periods, multiple items (SKUs) per load; local delivery, carpooling.
- Optimize shipping for multiple locations, trucks, orders, products, driver constraints, mileage, and more.
- Optimize routes for multiple pickups and deliveries, truck capacities, driver constraints, and more.
Optimal Assignment & Selection
Mediation, Portfolio, Personnel Scheduling, Seating Apps, and many more.
