Scheduling Optimization from Multiple Sources? #62

Open obeavers opened 6 years ago

obeavers commented 6 years ago

Hey Kevin,

Found this library and wanted to explore before trying to code something up myself. Dealing with a non-lin optimization problem where I have constraints of having to have x tonnes of a commodity at a port at y date. I have three possible options where each option has 1. price & logistics cost, 2. time to port, 3. amount of commodity available.

Given those constraints, I'd like to solve for profit maximization, given limited ordering from each location.

Is this something supplychainpy can solve?

Thx.

Hi Oliver (@obeavers) ,

Sorry for my late reply. Unfortunately, the library cannot assist you with the optimisation problem you are exploring.

Pyomo is a popular library for optimisation modelling and might be more helpful. Please also have a look at the list hosted on this Wiki. I hope this is useful.

Cheers
