Optimization Palisade Style - Part 1 - ERP Spain.com - España y América Latina

If you’ve ever felt that Excel’s Solver add-in didn’t allow you to adequately model an optimization decision, then this three-part series on what Palisade can add to the optimization portion of your analytical tool kit is for you. The series will first review single-objective, deterministic optimization then go beyond this limited approach to optimization by presenting several advanced optimization concepts and demonstrating how Evolver, part of Palisade’s Decision Tools Suite, and @RISK Industrial’s RISKOptimizer can be used to solve models with these embellishments. Examples used for the demonstrations will come primarily from the manufacturing/operations management arena. By the conclusion of the three webinars you will be able to model, solve and interpret solutions of single- and dual-objective optimization problems under deterministic conditions and conditions of uncertainty using Evolver and RISKOptimizer as appropriate. Part 1 – Elementary Optimization with Evolver. This webinar will present single-objective deterministic optimization as solved by Evolver, part of the Palisade Decision Tools Suite. Following a brief review of the basic concepts of mathematical programming, several mostly manufacturing/operations management examples will be used to demonstrate how to model, solve and interpret Evolver solutions. This webinar is primarily intended for those with a limited background in optimization and/or those wishing to review elementary optimization before attending the remaining two webinars in this series.
