Optimization problems in businesses using AMPL

The journal publishes 24 issues a year that focus on the theoretical, practical, and computational aspects of operations research

An arcade-style TSP challenge game written for https://github.com/tunnuz/arcadetsp's 2018 Christmas Party, follow the in-game instructions.

Learn supply chain principles through a visual simulation.

Web-based app that is intended to act as an entry point for data scientists and problem solvers who could benefit from optimization; the game teaches players why optimization is valuable and important, why it’s difficult (by showcasing the scaling and added complexity of optimization throughout round play), and why solvers and other optimization algorithms are essential in finding an optimal solution.

Operations research and computers interact in many scientific fields of vital importance to our society. These include, among others, transportation, economics, investment strategy, inventory control, logistics, safety, reliability, urban planning, and ecology. Computers & Operations Research (COR) provides an international forum for the application of computers and operations research techniques to problems in these and related fields.

The TLC is a simple constrained integer program turned into a game that you can play in a classroom with Legos. In each round of the game, your team acts as a boutique woodworking company who must decide which items to build and sell to the market. The goal is to decide how many of each type of item to build to maximize profits and beat other teams, where you are constrained by how many component pieces you have available.

It is a quarterly peer-reviewed scientific journal established in February 1976. It focuses on areas of mathematics relevant to the field of operations research such as continuous optimization, discrete optimization, game theory, machine learning, simulation methodology, and stochastic models. The journal is published by INFORMS (Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences)

An extensible framework for solving discrete optimization problems using a combination of Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MIP) and Machine Learning (ML). MIPLearn uses ML methods to automatically identify patterns in previously solved instances of the problem, then uses these patterns to accelerate the performance of conventional state-of-the-art MIP solvers such as CPLEX, Gurobi or XPRESS.

Real life examples from More Optimal

Journal about Operations Research from INFORMS

It is a bimonthly peer-reviewed academic journal covering operations research. It was established in 1981

Case studies from Optimal Dynamics

Case studies from Optimal Solutions focused on food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, airlines, and finance

Developed to help spark an interest for mathematics in children and young adults. I use optimization concepts in the context of real-life problems as motivation. All you need are a printer to print the pages with the instructions and a pair of scissors to cut out the game pieces.

Customer success stories from ORTEC

Seems some of us can't see a problem without wanting to take a crack at solving it. Does that sound like you? Good. Forge ahead and ponder this month's problem. We'll post a new one every month, and allow a month for you to submit solutions (we may even publish submitted answers, especially if they're correct).
