IBM Maximo Optimizer

IBM® Maximo® Optimizer is an add-on to Maximo Application Suite. By using Maximo Optimizer, you can automate efficient decisions for long-range planning, scheduling, and dispatching of resources for asset maintenance while balancing competing objectives and constraints.

Maximo Optimizer includes IBM Maximo Optimization Framework for data and application management of optimization jobs and embeds IBM ILOG® CPLEX® Optimization Studio for solving optimization models. Maximo Optimizer is a Maximo Application Suite add-on and can be used with Maximo Manage.

You can deploy Maximo Optimizer with one of the following plans:

Maximo Optimizer plan: The Maximo Optimizer plan with no restrictions on the deployment of virtual processor cores (VPCs), parallel execution of jobs, or number of custom models.
Maximo Optimizer Limited plan: The Maximo Optimizer Limited plan limits the deployment to two VPCs and a serialized execution of jobs for only one model. The model is a default model or a customized version of the default model that is provided by IBM.

If you purchase the Maximo Optimizer plan instead of the Maximo Optimizer Limited plan, then the Maximo Optimizer plan is your default installation. However, only the Maximo Optimizer Limited plan is supported on a single-node Red Hat® OpenShift® cluster. At installation time, the Maximo Application Suite CLI utility automatically detects if the cluster has more than 1 node or not. If the CLI utility detects a single node cluster at installation time, then the Maximo Optimizer Limited plan gets installed. A message displays in the CLI utility about this behavior.

After deployment and activation, Maximo Optimizer is available from the Suite navigator or directly at the following URL:
