We like to treat solvers as magical black boxes, but it’s worth understanding their basic principle. In this episode, find out more about how solvers can be used to find our optimum incredibly fast.

Life – and planning in particular – would be so much easier if we knew in advance what was going to happen in the future. Of course, that’s not possible. But with predictive analytics, we come pretty close, at least for our planning questions.

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.
