Mathematic optimization (aka operative research) is one of the pillars of ACT Solutions' approach.

When it comes to a large number of variables and constraints, whether it is strategic or operational, decision-making becomes complex. This affects financial performance and even the future of your business.

That's why optimal decision-making is so important!

Which are the typical circumstances where a business can advantage from math optimization?

• solving complex problems (e.g. large number of variables and constrains)
  
• problem definition and break-down
  
• results prediction and scenario
  
• process re-engineering
  
• risk management
  
• data management
  
• competitive benchmarking

 

Techniques

At ACT Solutions we use popular and advanced techniques.
Some of the former are the following:

• mixed integer linear programming
  
• network flow techniques
  
• dynamic programming
  
• black box optimization (derivative free algorithm)
  
• fuzzy logic optimization
  
• combinatorial optimization metaheuristics (genetic and evolutive algorithm's, simulated annealing, tabu search, grasp, path relinking)
  
• stochastic optimization
  
• multicriteria decision making techniques

 

Third-parts technologies

• ACT Solutions technology is developed on Java.
• We couple our tools with those of world's leaders such as SAS OR.
