Abstract
The Optimization and Decision Support Systems for Supply Chains (Odss4SC) summer school has taken place in Portalegre, Portugal, for three editions (2012, 2013 and 2014) within the Erasmus Intensive Programme. The audience is formed by M.Sc./Ph.D. students on Engineering and Logistics, coming from multiple countries. Some of the goals of this school include studying “green” logistics aspects and using optimization models for solving specific problems, with a practical approach supported by computational sessions (Optimization Labs). During these Optimization Lab Sessions the participants were introduced to the IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio to develop optimization projects. Participants were acquainted with the concepts, architecture, components, processes, and procedures necessary to build optimization models. Topics covered in these sessions included working with Optimization Programming Language (OPL) to write mathematical programming (MP) models, linking to data sources, flow control and performance tuning of CPLEX optimizer. After the Lab sessions, the participants had acquired a general idea about Optimization engines and how to use them for their Supply Chain Optimization problems.
