Simulation and optimization are two terms that are often used almost synonymously. Yet they are two fundamentally different techniques. Our new episode “One more thing about…” explains the difference.

“What would actually happen if…?” – We have certainly all asked ourselves this question not only once. For planning problems it has a very special relevance and with What-If Scenarios we find the answer.

To the untrained eye, it is not immediately obvious whether using a solver is an easy step or impossible. Let’s take a look at problem complexity, scalability to our problem size.
