Purpose

Goal is to pair a domain expert with an AI assistant to optimize a network.

  1. Help define an optimization problem
  2. Help select and run the optimization method to solve the problem
  3. Help interpret and use solutions

Example problem

Uses: Supply_Chain_Example_Data.csv nsga-ii.py

The decision variables for the multi-objective optimization problem are as follows:

  • Location of the logistics centers (Tyler, Midland, Waco)
  • Capacities of the logistics centers
  • Transportation routes between the supply locations and the destinations (Los Angeles, Newark, Savannah)
  • Inventory levels at the supply locations

The objectives are as follows:

  • Minimize delays
  • Minimize operational expenses

The constraints will include:

  • Capital and operational budgets for the centers
  • Capacity constraints at the logistics centers
  • Demand satisfaction constraints
  • Service level constraints
  • Transportation mode constraints
