Solving Hard Combinatorial Optimisation Problems with General Purpose Integer Programming Software: A Guide for OR Practitioners
When OR practitioners are faced with the need to solve and implement industrial applications that can be formulated as combinatorial optimisation problems (COPs), the expense in terms of the personnel time commitment on algorithm development, computer code generation and testing, and solution implementation can be significant and costly. In addition to OR practitioners’ needs for simple, effective, and efficient solution approaches, it is also important for them to guarantee the quality of the solutions presented to management for implementation.
