| 9:00 AM | Opening Remarks |
| 9:15 AM | Hidden Gems: Useful Gurobi Features You May Not Know In this session, we will review powerful features that are part of the Gurobi Optimizer which can be used to take your applications to the next level. We provide tools to make it easy to incorporate multiple objectives, scenario analysis, nonlinear functions, and more into your optimization models. There are also features like warm starts and variable partitioning that can enhance the solver performance. Learning how to correctly use these features can streamline your modeling efforts and inspire new application ideas. |
| 10:00 AM | Build, Buy, or Partner? Every optimization deployment involves technical tradeoffs. Should you build your own reporting in D3.js? Or pay for an easy-to-use dashboarding tool like Tableau? Should you build everything locally? Or use readily available components in AWS or Azure? We explore these every-project build/buy/partner decisions through the lens of an industrial production scheduling application. |
| 10:45 AM | Advanced Modeling This session will focus on advanced modeling features in the Gurobi API. The first part gives a brief introduction about modeling extensions in the Gurobi Python API. In the second part, we cover modeling tools for non-linear and logic functions with a focus on linearization. The third part covers Gurobi’s ability to solve multi-objective optimization problems. |
| 1:00 PM | Improving Decision-Making with Practical AI Even after implementing advanced planning software, companies often still rely on spreadsheet modeling, institutional knowledge, BI reports, and gut feelings to make many significant decisions regularly. This session dives deep into the limitations of traditional planning methods and unveils opportunities we have uncovered in the supply chain domain in the past. We’ll explore real-world case studies showcasing how businesses leveraged decision-support solutions and our approach to quickly implement them to unlock significant improvements in their supply chain performance. |
| 1:45 PM | Performance Tuning Application performance is dependent on multiple factors. This session guides the audience through common pitfalls that impact application performance. We will cover tuning opportunities, Gurobi parameters and finish with tuning exercises. Bring your laptops and join in the fun. |
