The modeling flexibility and the optimality guarantees provided by mixed-integer programming greatly aid the design of a robust and future-proof decision support system for a large and diverse customer base. In this paper we describe our coordinated efforts to ensure that the performance of the underlying solution algorithms matches the complexity of the large supply chain problems and tight time limits encountered in practice.

The complexity of industrial-scale supply chain optimization, however, often poses limits to the application of general mixed-integer programming solvers. In this paper we describe algorithmic innovations that help to ensure that MIP solver performance matches the complexity of the large supply chain problems and tight time limits encountered in practice. Our computational evaluation is based on a diverse set, modeling real-world scenarios supplied by our industry partner SAP.
