38 Topics5 things software teams should know about operations research and decision science
Decision models are sophisticated algorithms that power revenue, sustainability, and efficiency goals through optimized planning. But integrating them into software stacks is not always straightforward.14Views0likes0CommentsObservability & decision science: Monitoring optimization model performance and more
When decision models power real-life operations, any sort of model performance failure is a nightmare. Learn why observability in the operations research space is often a challenge – and how to give your team more visibility into model performance with DecisionOps.14Views0likes0CommentsCI/CD for decision science: What is it, how does it work, and why does it matter?
CI/CD is how you ship higher quality code to production faster. But with decision science models, there’s a twist. We’ll look at the role of decision quality, specific testing tooling, and problem drift on CI/CD for decision science models.8Views0likes0CommentsWhat is switchback testing for decision models?
It’s time to understand the behavioral impacts of a new decision model under real-world conditions compared to a production model. Switchback testing enables this, helping build confidence in a new model’s rollout in a safe and measured way.9Views0likes0CommentsWhat is shadow testing for optimization models and decision algorithms?
You’re pretty sure your staging model is ready for production. Pretty sure... But you want to test it under real-world conditions without real-world impact. Shadow testing gives your “understudy” algorithm the stage to prove its mettle.11Views0likes0CommentsWhat is scenario testing for optimization models?
Welcome to the what-if wonderland of parallel universes. What if you expand your delivery region? Or fulfill orders from stores and distribution centers? Or hire more staff? Scenario tests help provide the answers. And, no, it’s not the same as simulation.17Views0likes0CommentsWhat is acceptance testing for optimization models?
You’ve got a production decision model and an updated decision model. Should you ship the new model to prod? Will the new model meet your acceptable KPI thresholds? Acceptance testing provides the answers by delivering a documented, repeatable decision-making process.10Views0likes0CommentsOptimization, the OR universe, and everything: In conversation with Karla Hoffman
Are AI, ML, and OR the same or different? Is operations research a solved problem? How do you know if you’re ready for optimization? We asked industry veteran Karla Hoffman these questions and more.10Views0likes0Comments
