Logistics and Production
Description / Outline
Personal planning, freight transport, network extentions or charging of automatic teller machines, all state problems in logistics. Although the problems sound very different, all of them have one thing in common. They are solvable by models and methods from discrete optimization. Why using discrete optimization methods? Because they provide provably good solutions, because they can approximate the potential of further improvements, and because this way new strategies can be developed producing solutions that were thought to be out of reach so far. The following projects document some of our success stories.
