Heuristics – is this just another buzzword? Why is it used so often when talking about optimization and what does it have to do with pizza? We explain what a heuristic is and how it works.

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.

A good set of data is the core of every optimization project. But why is so crucial, to use real data already when still implementing the software? Let us share some insights we gained on data during our optimization projects.
