What can CPLEX Optimizer do for business?
Model business issues mathematically and solve them with powerful algorithms from CPLEX Optimizer, which can produce precise and logical decisions. The mathematical programming technology of CPLEX Optimizer enables decision optimization for improving efficiency, reducing costs and increasing profitability.
CPLEX Optimizer provides flexible, high-performance mathematical programming solvers for linear programming, mixed integer programming, quadratic programming and quadratically constrained programming problems. These solvers include a distributed parallel algorithm for mixed integer programming to leverage multiple computers to solve difficult problems.
Find the best solution from among billions of alternatives for business decisions, such as:
- What is the best plan for my factory to meet the demand for finished products, while minimizing machine setup costs and factoring in scheduled arrivals of raw materials?
- How can I optimally assign marketing campaigns to customers by considering predictions around customers’ propensity to respond and maximize expected purchases, while fitting the budget constraints?
Benefits of CPLEX Optimizer
Robust algorithms
CPLEX Optimizer delivers the power needed to solve very large, real-world optimization problems, and the speed required for today's interactive decision optimization applications. CPLEX Optimizer has solved optimization models with millions of constraints and variables.
CPLEX Optimization Studio interfaces
