Tactical planning serves the goal of continuous improvement. To achieve this mathematical optimization does not only provide the best set of decisions, but also an evaluation of how much a decision is worth. In this episode we explain, how it works.

Optimization projects are complex. How can we make sure, that our projects are going in the right direction? We divide our projects into 3 phases: the prototype, the minimum viable product and the fully productive product. Let’s see what the first phase is about and what we achieve with it.

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.
