The industries on this page are examples. The same engine takes any decision with rules, goals and data. It answers with the plan, the rule that binds it and the record.

By industry
six examples, industry by industry.
Examples, not limits. Each use case shows the situation, the decisions teams bring, what the engine returns and how a first project runs.
- redispatchWhich redispatch measures relieve a congested line at the lowest cost, while supply stays secure?
- maintenance outagesWhen does each line, transformer or plant go offline for maintenance with the least impact on supply?
- bids across marketsHow do batteries and flexible loads split their capacity across day-ahead, intraday, FCR and aFRR?
- field crewsWhich crew takes which job across the service regions?
- production schedulingIn which order do the jobs run on each machine, respecting setups, maintenance and due dates?
- machine allocationWhich product batches go to which line, so changeovers stay rare?
- shift planningWhich crew, with which qualifications, staffs which line in each shift?
- pricingWhich price per product and channel gives the highest total margin within your rules?
- replenishmentHow much of each item do we order, and for which store, as demand shifts with price and season?
- staff schedulingWho works which shift across the stores in peak season?
- vehicle rotationWhich vehicle runs which rotation, so every trip is covered and every maintenance interval holds?
- crew rosteringWhich driver takes which duty, within rest times, qualifications and route knowledge?
- disruption re-planningA vehicle fails at noon. Which swaps cover the rest of the day with the least change for passengers and crews?

municipal utilities
Asset and service teams plan renewal, tours and crews with the reasons on record.
- asset renewalWhich mains, cables and stations do we renew this year within the budget, ranked by failure risk and impact on residents?
- waste collection toursWhich vehicle empties which containers on which day, within time windows and vehicle limits?
- field service crewsWhich crew takes which job this week, so planned work gets done and emergency cover holds?
- Bring a decision your planners make every week. We write down the rules with them and build a first model on real data.
By type of decision
the same problems, across industries.
A crew plan in a grid company and a shift plan in a store are the same kind of problem. kint solves both on one engine, with the same checks and the same record.

Beyond the examples
questions we build kint for.
If your team makes a recurring decision under hard rules with data behind it, the engine applies. A few shapes from sectors without an example page.
- hospitalsWhich operation goes into which theatre and slot, within staff, equipment and bed limits?
- airportsWhich flight gets which stand and gate, so transfers hold and towing stays short?
- constructionIn which order do the crews and machines work the sites, within permits and delivery windows?
- public administrationWhich case goes to which team, so deadlines hold and the workload stays even?
bring the decision your team makes every week.
