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.

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.

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.
