Optimization Software
MJC˛ is a leading provider of optimization software solutions which address very large and highly complex operations. Our core toolsets address areas such as
distribution scheduling and optimization,
vehicle routing problems,
real-time transport and distribution scheduling,
strategic supply chain optimization,
production scheduling and manufacturing process optimization,
real-time planning and dynamic optimization of mobile workforces,
demand planning,
inventory management and
visitor guiding & scheduling.
Business Optimization Problems
In addition we are able to provide bespoke and configured optimization systems and services to address a wide range of challenging and complex business optimization problems. Some examples of applications of our optimization tools are:
- Performance Optimization - maximise operational efficiency and dynamically respond to performance evaluation data to facilitate continuous improvement
- Cost Optimization - selection on a strategic and dynamic basis of suppliers based on supply costs, logistics considerations and service level criteria, taking account of critical cost optimization factors such as potential benefits, impact on service, time constraints and investment requirement.
- Asset Optimization - maximising return on investment in high value assets by forward planning and dynamic re-optimization
- Logistics Optimization - creation of strategic logistics schedules (vehicles, drivers, depots, warehouses, etc.)
- Merchandise Optimization - strategic and dynamic calculation of the best products to stock in each retail outlet based on historical/forecast sales, SKU cost/profitability, store profile and replenishment constraints
- Timetable Optimization - creation and refinement of complex timetables and schedules taking account of all operational rules and constraints
- Process Optimization - modelling and redesign of business and IT processes to achieve lower cost operation and faster response times
Optimization Techniques & Scheduling Algorithm
MJC˛ has a powerful array of optimization tools which have been designed to address real business and industry optimization problems. The important characteristics of our toolsets are:
- Configurable optimization toolbox - enables all aspects of the optimization problem to be modelled accurately
- Constrained optimization - constraints can be applied based on real business rules and varied or relaxed to model different strategic scenarios
- Discrete optimization - discrete (and continuous) variables can be optimized
- Parallel scheduling - our tools are intrinsically very fast but we can make use of the ever increasing capability of modern computers to achieve even higher performance
- Fast optimization algorithm - our software runs at record speeds and can address even very large optimization problems
- Dynamic optimization - the speed of our programs allows them to be used for dynamic re-optimization in response to real-time data or events
- Flexible scheduling algorithms - each scheduling algorithm can address a very wide range of planning and optimization requirements
Tailored Optimization Services
We offer tailored optimization services that address specific requirements while taking account of all necessary operational rules and constraints. Our optimization tools are applicable to a very wide range of organisations and industries, coping with even very complex constrained optimization problems while being fast enough to enable dynamic re-optimization based on real-time data. MJC˛'s software has the flexibility to take account of complex cost functions and business rules to ensure that results can be applied to real operations.
