#HandsOn: Mixed Integer Programming for Workforce Management

Efficient staff scheduling is a critical challenge for many industries. Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) can create optimal schedules that meet various requirements:

1. Ensuring proper staffing at each workstation

2. Adhering to labor regulations

3. Minimizing labor costs

4. Balancing workloads effectively

Businesses use this technique to ensure their teams are never overworked and always prepared to deliver high-quality results. This approach can be applied to your industry as well.

Ready to optimize your workforce scheduling? Discover how MILP can transform your staff management and operational efficiency with Quantagonia’s HybridSolver.

You’ll find a hands-on tutorial in our latest blog post to get you started (Link in Comments). Try it out today and see the difference! https://lnkd.in/envUzpEU

🏢 Small and medium enterprises often struggle with solving this problem effectively, leading to missed opportunities in productivity and cost savings on staff and transportation. This simple and quick guide makes it possible to address these issues with minimal background knowledge.

✨ Optimization with Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP): The Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem is solved to prioritize critical deliveries and optimize routes, ensuring rapid and efficient service. By combining the Knapsack and Traveling Salesman Problems, care delivery is maximized.

💡 Getting Started Made Easy: Most people don't know where to start with last-mile delivery problems. We've got you covered with a simple model formulation:
- Define Problem Parameters (e.g. Delivery locations)
- Define Objective Function (e.g. Minimize total distance)
- Define Constraints (e.g. Vehicle capacity)
- Optimize Model
- Process Results

Balancing Quantum Hype and Reality

I get it. Hype can be a driver, and why should I, at a startup working on quantum computing topics, complain about it?

But too much hype can lead to false claims and attention to resolving pseudo-problems that seem important but actually don’t address the underlying issues necessary for progress.

Parts of my job at Quantagonia involve managing the "quantum expectations" of customers. Sometimes, even those with a technical background expect that current executable quantum algorithms in optimization offer some form of quantum advantage.

At Quantagonia, we aim to leverage both quantum and classical computers for optimization problems in operations research. We routinely compare what is possible with current classical algorithms. The truth is, we are simply not there yet in achieving a pure quantum advantage in optimization.

This doesn’t mean we shouldn't start now: we can’t build quantum computers without understanding what we specifically gain and how to integrate them to maximize their potential. However, maintaining realistic, evidence-based expectations and being open to constructive criticism about what needs improvement is very important.

Because communicating this is crucial, I wrote a short blog post, "A Current Quantum of a Reality Check for Optimization," where you can also learn why we at Quantagonia are invested in quantum computing, even though we currently lack practical quantum advantage for optimization problems on available devices (blog link in the comments).

Decision Intelligence (a.k.a. Optimization) is still lacking feasibility for small and mid-sized companies due to high entry barriers, as underlined by my recent poll (see results in brackets below). Lowering these entry barriers could significantly improve the widespread adoption of Decision Intelligence - “the best hidden secret”.

While I am sure that you have heard enough of AI’s benefits across all media channels…

…it could truly be a game changer for democratizing Decision Intelligence.

Here's how LLM-integration could tackle the existing entry barriers and make Decision Intelligence everyone's sidekick:
✅ 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 (𝟰𝟳%): Leveraging LLMs widespread attention to market the benefits of Optimization and reposition its image in the business landscape.
✅ 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀 (𝟭𝟵%): LLMs can bridge the translation of business problems to mathematical models, simplifying optimization for non-experts.
✅ 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 & 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 (𝟭𝟵%): LLMs enable swift data input, actively identifying, and proposing improvements for data quality issues with minimal effort.
✅ 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁 & 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝟭𝟰%): LLMs can streamline the process of developing and deploying Decision Intelligence solutions by providing cost-effective alternatives to traditional data analysis and model development methods.

Bringing LLMs into the world of Decision Intelligence isn't just about finding better solutions; it's about opening doors for every business to make smarter, faster decisions without breaking the bank or getting lost in translation.

Big news! We're launching something amazing soon and need your skills to ensure it performs flawlessly and continues to impress. We're hiring now in our Frankfurt and Munich offices. Ready to make an impact? Join us!
