10 Keys to Success in Optimization Modeling

#1 Write formulation, communicate with execs

#2 Bound decisions

#3 Objectives and constraints exchange roles (alt. optima likely)

#4 Forget about sensitivity analysis as you learned it

#5 Elasticize (bound duals)

#6 Model robustly

#7 Eliminate variables – avoid generating them when you can

#8 Incremental implementation

#9 Model persistence

#10 Bound heuristics with optimization
