O IS FOR OPERATIONS RESEARCH
Find out how we make the best decision possible!
This is why mathematics is so important to us.
The essence of mathematics is not to make simple things complicated, but to make complicated things simple. That is why mathematics is at the core of our work. The core of our software systems consists of mathematical optimization methods from operations research. One of the most well-established AI methods, OR applies mathematical, statistical, and probabilistic approaches to economic problems.This enables us to determine the optimal approach by considering all framework conditions.This allows us to determine the optimal approach by considering all framework conditions, which prove that they help companies make better decisions and save money
We work with OR in four steps.
- Formulate a real problem as a mathematical model.
- Develop algorithms to solve the model.
- Implement the model and algorithms in software.
- Monitor and adjust the models as soon as the framework conditions or objectives change.
The mathematical model includes decision variables. These represent questions such as: "Who does what best, when, and with whom?" Additionally, there are personnel and machine restrictions. The model correlates the dependencies of these parameters. It also has a target function that must be minimized or maximized depending on the desired outcome, such as minimizing costs or maximizing efficiency. Mathematics provides the answer. Ultimately, it is a matter of determining the extreme values of a function. Don't worry; you don't have to be a math whiz. An algorithm calculates the result according to the desired objective function. It can calculate millions of decision variants and provide users with the best possible recommendations.
Today, we are supplementing the OR core with AI, such as machine learning, which excels at identifying meaningful and useful correlations in large amounts of data. To truly optimize processes, it is essential to understand real-world operations on a daily, hourly, and minute-by-minute basis. Our systems use this information to make predictions. Based on these predictions, our software uses OR to make intelligent decisions.
We are the first company to make Operations Research usable in software.
O IS ALSO FOR
Orchestration
Even the best decision has little value if people, processes, and systems are not working together. That is why our solutions orchestrate data, workflows, and decisions across departments and organizational boundaries. This is how complexity turns into coordinated action..
O IS ALSO ON-THE-JOB-TRAINING
Nobody is born an expert in production planning, vehicle logistics, or workforce management. That is why new colleagues at INFORM learn where this knowledge is actually created: in real projects, through collaboration with experienced teams, and by working directly with customers.
After all, if you want to understand complex processes, you first need to understand our customers’ world. And the best way to do that is by being right in the middle of it. This hands-on learning is complemented by our internal learning academy, which offers training, networking opportunities, and professional development in areas that are not always easy to learn through project work alone.
At INFORM, you do not learn for practice first. You learn in practice.
