6 best practices for operationalizing decision models from local dev to production

A look at how to action a handful of best practices derived from experience and observation intended to improve decision model success.

Testing decision models: How to do it and why it matters

Testing optimization models improves workflows, increases stakeholder buy-in, and helps teams deploy to production safely and quickly. But what are the steps to make testing repeatable and scalable?

4 uses for optimization in software

Optimization is often highlighted in supply chain contexts – routing, scheduling, inventory, and other tangible, visible problems. This post explores a few use cases in computing and software.

How to record decision model results, visuals, and I/O with tracked runs: A facility location example

Decision model development and collaboration is easier and faster when there’s a shared system of record to reference and interact with for I/O, results, and charts. Learn how to create one in Nextmv.

Nextmv FICO® Xpress Integration: Accelerating optimization teams with modern DecisionOps

We’ve partnered with FICO® Xpress Solver to provide a modern DecisionOps platform experience to FICO Xpress users, allowing them to create end-to-end decision pipelines for model deployment, testing, collaboration, and monitoring at scale.

Quickly compare runs of your decision model in the Nextmv UI

Select multiple runs from your model’s run history for a side-by-side comparison of their KPIs and model configuration. Answer performance questions in a few clicks and determine what to test next to continue improving your model.

In conversation about DecisionOps with Fred Gardi, founder and CEO of Hexaly

This interview explores perspectives on growth and adoption of optimization across practitioners, challenges and opportunities in the optimization space, thinking about optimization in broader AI strategies, and DecisionOps + Hexaly.

Simplify optimization model run queueing with Nextmv's DecisionOps platform

Create and manage queues directly in Nextmv to easily prioritize model runs. Configure prioritization at runtime to prevent blocking the queue with large runs or at the model version level to ensure production runs have precedence.

How Veho switched to a new optimization solver in under one month with DecisionOps

When Veho’s data science team wanted to evolve their route optimization with a new solver, they leveraged Nextmv’s DecisionOps platform to transition to Hexaly in a matter of weeks.

Automatically expose native Gurobipy and scikit-learn parameters as options in Nextmv

Tune your Gurobipy and scikit-learn models with configurable options so your team can prototype faster, experiment with ease, and manage their models with more insight on Nextmv’s DecisionOps platform.

Build decision workflows to automate multiple steps in an optimization pipeline

Looking for an MLflow experience for optimization? Create and manage end-to-end decision workflows in Nextmv with steps such as data prep, regression, optimization, and visualization. Press play to kick off an automated workflow and see live progress via a flow diagram and logs in the Nextmv UI.

How to create and run an ML + OR decision workflow with scenario test on Nextmv

What is the relationship between price, profit, and waste? Let’s find out using a Statsmodels ML regressor, a Gurobipy optimizer, Plotly charts, scenario testing, and a slick decision workflow built and run in Nextmv.

Replay optimization model runs under different conditions with scenario testing

Identify better plans by replaying your run with varying settings. Create multiple scenarios to understand the impact of input data, model configuration, and more on your KPIs in Nextmv’s UI.
