The road to production is paved with testing and experimentation

Do you launch decision model A or B? What happens if an operator makes a manual override? How does a new optimization model perform against real-world data? Testing and experimentation has the answers, but getting them has traditionally been a challenge.

A 2022 Look Back and 2023 Preview

2022 was a big year: the next-gen Nextmv platform, multi-paradigm solving, INFORMS, curling in Montreal. 2023 has even more goodness in store.

Create optimized PagerDuty on-call rotation schedules with decision automation

I retired our on-call scheduling spreadsheet — and you can too. Here’s how I built a custom decision model that generates and sends optimized schedules to the PagerDuty API.

Build decision models faster with Nextmv CLI and SDK

Go from zero to working decision model in minutes — then customize or create something totally new. The new and improved Nextmv platform changes the way operational decisions get made at speed and scale.

To know your solver is to know what’s possible

Solvers help us tackle big problems. But how well do you understand the solver technology that you have? Did you build it? Buy it? Will it scale with your operations?

Build decision models with confidence: Working with testing in optimization

Optimization model testing plays a key role in ensuring smooth yet improving business operations. But the testing universe is big and sometimes unwieldy. Learn how to get started with a unified decision model testing framework.

In conversation with Dr. Karla Hoffman about optimization and operations research

Is optimization a solved problem? How does it fit into modern business models such as on-demand delivery? What does it mean to model like an operator? We’ll ask Dr. Hoffman these questions and more.

Getting started with Nextmv

Build and run complete decision optimization models in minutes for vehicle routing, scheduling, packing, and Sudoku. With a few commands, you're ready to solve.

From zero to customizable decision model in minutes with Nextmv

Decisions as code: Systems thinking, operations research, and computer science

From vehicle routing problems (VRPs) to scheduling staff and workers, there is a multitude of decisions ripe for automation. In this talk, Carolyn Mooney, CEO of Nextmv, talks about her vision for shifting from traditional decision workflows to decision automation where any developer can work with decisions as code.
