who benefits from our

planning & optimization solutions?

Applied Optimization’s primary focus is on the process industries - this includes petrochemicals, specialty chemicals, polymers, pharmaceuticals, and food & beverage industries. Our success in developing solutions for these industries stems from our team's years of experience working for some of the top global corporations in these areas.

Since the only constant in business is change, it is companies that respond most effectively to change that emerge stronger and more profitable than their competitors. From this standpoint, changing business conditions present an opportunity for a business to distance itself from its rivals.

At Applied Optimization, our focus is on providing a toolkit to our clients, to make the most of the opportunities presented by ever-changing business conditions. Our planning and optimization tools confer a particular advantage to businesses that:

• Are cyclical
• Encounter frequent change of any sort
• Deal with a high degree of uncertainty in supply or demand
• Are low-margin and need to minimize costs
• Have complex product portfolios
• Have complex manufacturing or supply operations
• Are globally dispersed
• Need to alter their strategy frequently due to changes in laws or regulations
