whitebox optimization.

Optimization of a system whose rules can be written down as formulas: capacities, balances, schedules, costs.

worked exampleevery rule written downCapacities, balances and service duties are all known as formulas. The model states them exactly, so the solver can report how close the plan is to the best one.Illustrative values.
in plain language

When the logic of an operation is known, it can be written as an explicit model of variables, constraints and an objective. Whitebox models can be solved to proven optimality and every part of the result can be traced to a rule.

whitebox optimization, on your own decision.

Bring one recurring decision. Your planners see the terms of this glossary applied to their own rules and data.
