Optimizing ore transportation at open-pit mining sites requires an intelligent solution able to coordinate multiple agents while dealing with possible equipment failures. When ore is extracted from a site, it is first transported to ore preparation plants (OPPs)...
Supply chain optimization tools need to be robust and capable of managing product flows across multiple types of locations in a network. Multi-echelon inventory optimization can be a challenge for optimizers and baseline heuristics and supply chain managers need an...
Load-balancing problems like those faced in call center networks can be difficult to solve. Answering calls quickly is crucial to efficient operations, however, and long wait times can result in poor customer satisfaction. When large volumes of incoming calls come...
Supply chain managers face a unique set of problems when it comes to optimizing inventory. Customers want their orders delivered quickly, but too much inventory in stock leads to high costs. If you factor in changing demand, backlogged orders, and other uncertainties,...
Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs are an important factor in the total Life Cycle Cost (LCC) of energy systems. A good O&M optimization strategy needs to keep many pieces of equipment running efficiently while balancing operational variables and service...
