1)Airline Optimisation (operations research / linear programming)
Project Type: $500 – $4,999
Max Bid: Open to fair suggestions
Categories: Writing and translation
Description:
The airline industry experiences very challenging times, and many airlines need to undertake substantial changes to their business processes to get back to profitability. As Operations of an airline is generally considered a cost driver, there is a big emphasis on cost effectiveness to make improvements to the bottom line. This push towards cost savings is supported by the use of optimization systems that improve the utilization of scarce and expensive resources such as aircraft, crew, gates, etc. To maximize the benefi ts of resource optimization, one needs to identify, model and solve the right operational problems.
We are an airline software development house specialising in aviation solutons specifically for crew and aircraft.
Part of our planned product mix includes mathmatical optimisation solutions that are used to determine ‘best fit’ to a number of competing goals
We want a development partner that can work with us to develope airline optimisation solutions for:
– tail assignment
– crew pairings
These will utilise a number of LP / Column Generation techniques

Our partner needs to understand the maths – we can teach the domain knowledge if needs be !
