Woodstock Optimization Studio

Optimize every facet of planning and scheduling with Woodstock Optimization Studio.

Transform data into insight with prescriptive analytics

Refined and innovated over nearly three decades, Woodstock is an integrated optimization modeling platform with robust prescriptive analytics capabilities that can help you improve decisions, resource and asset management.

Data-Driven Decisions

Make data-driven decisions by simulating alternative management scenarios to understand trade-offs among business objectives and constraints.

Dynamic Problem Solving

Analyze complex planning across many spatial and temporal ranges. Enable dynamic, optimized planning and re-planning that adapts to change.

Scenario and What If Analyses

Determine the right course of action by performing scenario and ‘what if’ analyses that consider different variables and possible outcomes.

Actionable Intelligence

Achieve performance improvements and increase competitive advantage with data intelligence that can guide decision-making and suggest the preferred course of action.

THE VALUE OF OPTIMIZATION MODELING

Get data-driven answers to critical business questions

Thriving in today’s complex and changing business environments requires more agile and accurate decision-making. Decisions based on data that can help you balance objectives, consider constraints and achieve outcomes with less risk. Remsoft’s optimization technology supports enterprise-wide use of prescriptive analytics that can address multiple supply chain challenges, including planning and scheduling, resource and asset management. With optimization modeling, you can answer your critical ‘why’, ‘how’ and ‘what if’ questions to improve decisions, performance and create long-term competitive advantage

How It Works

Optimize planning, scheduling and resource allocation

Mathematical Optimization
Flexible Problem Solving
Scenario & Capacity Analysis

Mathematical Optimization

Build, maintain, and deploy mathematical optimization models based on your planning and scheduling needs. Work with published models through focused, task-specific workflows and user-friendly interfaces. Iterate models as new data is available and adjust them as situations change.

Flexible Problem Solving

Solve short to long-term problems where sequencing and assignment of an optimal timing is fundamental to performant decision-making. Specify interval constraints and adjust parameters to maximize value and minimize costs.

Scenario & Capacity Analysis

Conduct deep analyses to optimize plans and schedules, allocate resources, and understand the opportunity cost of individual constraints. Assess the impact of changing resource levels on medium- and long-term financial performance to help prioritize resource investments.

WHY PRESCRIPTIVE ANALYTICS?

Powerful, agile decision support

Prescriptive analytics transform data into reliable insight, and foresight, that’s easy to understand and put into action. While other analytics can help you answer the ‘what’ and ‘why’ it happened, only prescriptive analytics can answer ‘how can we make it happen?’ – enabling you to continually optimize and adjust your plans, and monitor the progress of the plan’s execution.

Prescriptive analytics is the application of logic and mathematics to data to specify a preferred course of action. While all types of analytics ultimately support better decision making, prescriptive analytics outputs a decision rather than a report, statistic, probability or estimate of future outcomes.”
