Introduction to Optimization Models
Carraway, Robert L.Technical Note DARDEN-QA-0682-EDecision AnalysisWe refer to a model that uses mathematical programming to find an optimal quantity as an optimization model. Thus, an optimization model differs from an evaluation model in that it goes beyond simply evaluating the consequences of proposed alternatives: It actually identifies the “optimal” alternative. How does an optimization model accomplish this impressive task? In this age of readily available computing power and ever more user-friendly softw...Starting at €8.20

The Mathematics of Optimization
Carraway, Robert L.Technical Note DARDEN-QA-0683-EDecision AnalysisIn “Introduction to Optimization Models” (UVA-QA-0682), we explored the basics of using optimization models, or mathematical programming. In this technical note, we turn our attention to the mathematics underlying optimization. While not essential, a deeper understanding of the math can help you become a significantly more effective and efficient user of optimization models. It is well worth the investment if you anticipate using optimization on ...Starting at €8.20

Flex Technology
Grushka-Cockayne, Yael; Carraway, Robert L.; Sorenson, TravisCase DARDEN-QA-0811-EDecision AnalysisAfter years of development, William Krause knew that 2014 was the year to “go big or go home.” His Flexible Herbert Screw, a medical device intended to support the healing of fractured collarbones (clavicles), was ready for launch, and he had accumulated the necessary cash-$1 million by his reckoning-needed to comfortably see him through the start-up phase. Although evidence in favor of the invasive device was still inconclusive, other key player...Starting at €8.20
