Why Decision Optimization Remains Underutilized

Adam DeJans just posted: “Most people don’t realize how much of the world runs on a math method called Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP). It is how airlines schedule flights, supply chains allocate products, and manufacturers decide what to make.” https://lnkd.in/e_WAHxYc

He is right. Still, despite their proven effectiveness in real-world decision-making systems, optimization solvers—such as Constraint Programming (CP), Linear Programming (LP), and Mixed-Integer Programming (MIP)—remain underutilized by many decision intelligence practitioners. One contributing factor is the perception that these tools require experts like Adam DeJans to apply optimization effectively.
