Building mathematical models for complex operating decisions, solving them with integer programming and approximation algorithms, and turning them into tools the operations team uses every day.
Each service lists practical applications, by the kind of work it is carried out in. Services are taken singly, or combined into one scope, depending on the size of the case.
Linear and integer programming to select the optimal alternative within real resource constraints.
Scheduling for process facilities, from direct experience — the subject of the doctoral dissertation.
Medical staff, operations and maintenance, committees and examinations.
Integer programming models for league seasons and competitions.
Warehouse locations, demand allocation, distribution routes, inventory levels.
Testing the decision before it is implemented, and identifying the constraint that governs throughput.
Turning the model into an operating tool with a user interface.
Tools: Cplex · AMPL · R · SPSS · Minitab · SQL
The optimal solution by computation, not by estimate.
Turning the operating problem into a mathematical model with real constraints, not idealized ones.
Integer programming where it works, approximation algorithms where it does not.
A tool that runs inside the organization, with its assumptions and limits documented.
Modeling here is the discipline itself, backed by a doctoral dissertation and peer-reviewed publication.
Very few people build applied optimization and scheduling models in the Saudi market.
When modeling is not the right tool, that is said plainly.
Assistant Professor of Operations Research and Supply Chain Management at the College of Business Administration, University of Ha'il, holding a doctorate in industrial engineering from Lamar University on the planning and optimization of petroleum refinery scheduling.
A zij is a computational table drawn up by Arab astronomers to predict positions in time — which is precisely what modeling and scheduling do.
An independent professional practice operating under a Saudi freelance work certificate, eligible to contract with government entities under the Government Tenders and Procurement Law.
