Robust Optimization, Stochastic Programming, and Simulation Optimization Made Easy
What’s the best way to optimize models with uncertainty? Simulation optimization is flexible, but not scalable to large models. Stochastic programming is less flexible but more scalable, and supports recourse decisions. Robust optimization is very scalable to large models, but has been hard to implement. See how Premium Solver Platform makes all of these methods easily usable in Microsoft Excel, in one unified framework.
