Integrated Optimization
Decisions in one department change what is possible in another; optimizing them together needs a model that sees both.
Chapters, in reading order
- 01

- 02
From Enterprise Data to Better Decisions
The hard part of integrating an optimizer is often deciding which facts the next decision can trust.
- 03
What Should an Optimization Proof of Concept Actually Prove?
A promising solver demo is not yet evidence that an operational system will work.
- 04
What Makes an Optimization Project Succeed?
The best projects begin with a decision someone needs to make, not a solver someone wants to deploy.
