Optimization is a process for making something (as a design, system, or decision) as fully perfect, functional, or effective as possible using mathematical procedures such as as finding the maximum of a function or solve problems like :
The best allocation of your limited resources to maximize your profits?
The most efficient schedule to minimize costs?
The most efficient remediation strategy to minimize environmental damage?
Which projects should we be funding this year?
This category of tools and add-ins enable you to solve tough problems with ease... all within the familiar Excel environment. Of all the tools you can combine with simulation, optimization is the one with the biggest bang for the buck.
Analytica Optimizer is the highest edition level of Analytica. In includes all Enterprise features, plus the addition of powerful solver engines.It discovers decision values that minimize or maximize any quantified objective, subject to constraints.Designed with advanced simulation, modeling and optimization capabilities in mind, it allows for powerful decision modeling an analytics. Using a visual modeling approach you can design your own models as well as applications that can be shared with your peers.
Oracle Crystal Ball is the easiest way to perform Monte Carlo simulations in your own Excel spreadsheets and models. Crystal Ball automatically calculates thousands of different "what if" cases, revealing the range of possible outcomes, their probability
Do you already have Oracle Crystal Ball and want to tackle the next generation of problems?
The Crystal Ball Decision Optimizer upgrade provides users with both industry-leading optimization using OptQuest and unparalleled speed (PSI). OptQuest is an optimization tool that runs with Crystal Ball as an add-in and enhances simulation models by automatically searching for and finding optimal solutions.
