METRO (MEta Truck Rouring Optimizer) is the most advanced vehicle routing optimization system in the world
that cuts distribution costs by optimizing vehicle routes using fastest and robust metaheuristics.
Forecasting of future demands is essential to supply chain decisions
and forms the basis for all optimization system of supply chain.
OptForecast is a system for forecasting of future demands that
incorporates an optimization engine to estimate a time-series with some events.
Inventories play a central role in supply chain.
OptInv optimizes parameters for inventory policies on multi-location supply chain.
Safety stock or inventory can support a supply chain by adjusting supply and
demand with variability and uncertainty.
OptAlloc is designed to find an optimal allocation of safety stocks
for multiple inventory points in supply chain.
MELOS (Meta Logistics Optimization System) provides a strategic planning capability that is used to design “truly” optimal logistics networks and production plans, and that allows to users to execute “what if” analyses. Using sophisticated models of total logistics network, MELOS finds an optimal solution to improve the flow of products through forward and/or reverse logistics networks at the lowest cost under the constraints of customer services.
OptSeq provides an optimal scheduling decision for manufacturing.
It finds an optimal sequencing of tasks (activities, jobs) and an allocation of tasks to resources. OptSeq is based on an advanced metaheuristic algorithm developed by Dr. Nonobe and Dr. Ibaraki.
Cycle and/or lot-sizing inventory is due to economies of scale of activities in supply chain. The presence of fixed costs associated with transportation, production, and ordering makes us transport, produce, and order in large lot. OptLOT provides an optimal lot-sizing decision in such situations.
Revenue management is helpful to control perishable demands by strategically changing prices.
Airlines, hotels, and rental car agencies have used this technique to control their inventories.
OptRM is designed for helping hotel reservation decisions using modern optimization techniques.
