Our company will hold an online seminar on "Achieving Decision-Making and Planning Beyond Data Analysis" on Wednesday, June 8, 2022. Mathematical optimization is a problem-solving tool that enables decision-making and planning based on the results of data analysis. However, having specialized knowledge does not guarantee immediate solutions to real-world problems. In reality, there are numerous challenges from modeling optimization problems to system implementation. In this seminar, we will welcome Professor Toshiharu Umetani from Osaka University, who will explain the challenges and countermeasures encountered when tackling real-world problems using mathematical optimization. This seminar is highly recommended for companies facing issues with production planning and decision-making that tend to become personalized.
