MILP Demystified: Turning Discrete Decisions into Global Optima
About this episode
A practical tour of mixed-integer programming (MILP): what it is, why discrete (yes/no) and continuous decisions matter in logistics, manufacturing, and services, and how solvers guarantee the best solution. We’ll dive into real-world applications—from facility location and scheduling to knapsack-style decisions and industrial symbiosis—and explain why exact optimization, despite being harder, delivers clear bottom-line wins.
