Optimization

09 October 2008, at SAS Forum - Louvain-la-Neuve

Strategic planning is crucial to the success of business initiatives and entire organizations. Choosing the correct actions and allocations to produce the best outcomes requires the ability to create, consider and evaluate alternate scenarios.

Whether the goal is maximizing (e.g.: profit, turnover, or utilization) or minimizing (e.g.: waste, consumption) SAS optimization solutions bring together essential solving, scheduling, simulation and related modeling capabilities in an integrated environment designed to give fast business answers.

A handful of the various areas relevant for optimization include:

• Resource allocation and management.
• Production and inventory planning.
• Product mix and blending.
• Staffing allocations.
• Distribution, routing, scheduling and traffic flow.
• Supply chain management and optimization.
• Capital budgeting, asset allocation and portfolio selection.
• IT infrastructure and server management.
• Identification of the best customer-offer-channel combinations.

This Intelligence Briefing will take place during our SAS Forum on 9 October in Louvain-la-Neuve.
This session will consist of an introductory presentation at 11.00, followed by a hands-on session and one or more presentations planned throughout the day giving a more thorough insight in the topic.

We look forward to meeting you on Thursday 18 September!
