What is Optimizer Planning?

Optimizer Planning refers to the use of mathematical optimization techniques (such as linear programming, mixed-integer programming, constraint programming, and metaheuristics) to create and improve plans or schedules. It's commonly used in various domains, including supply chain management (production planning, inventory optimization, logistics), transportation (route optimization, vehicle scheduling), manufacturing (job scheduling, resource allocation), finance (portfolio optimization), and workforce management (staff scheduling). The goal is to find the best possible solution that satisfies a set of constraints and optimizes a specific objective (e.g., minimizing cost, maximizing profit, minimizing makespan).
