Timefold and OptaPlanner POC Development: AI-Powered Smart Planning Solutions
- 1. Timefold and OptaPlanner POC Development • Solving Complex Planning Challenges with AI • Oodles ERP
- 2. The Planning Problem • - Manual planning is time-consuming and error-prone • - Scheduling, routing, and resource allocation are complex • - Real-world constraints often ignored in traditional tools
- 3. Why AI Planning? • - Automates decision-making • - Optimizes based on constraints and objectives • - Saves time and reduces human error • - Adaptable to real-time changes
- 4. Meet OptaPlanner and Timefold • - OptaPlanner: Open-source AI constraint solver (Java-based) • - Timefold: Community-driven fork of OptaPlanner • - Both solve NP-hard problems like scheduling, routing, and resource allocation
- 5. What is a POC (Proof of Concept)? • - Small-scale implementation to validate a solution • - Quick to develop, low investment, high impact • - Demonstrates feasibility, efficiency, and value
- 6. POC Objectives • - Model a real business problem • - Apply hard & soft constraints • - Run optimization scenarios • - Deliver a working demo quickly
- 7. Our POC Use Case • - Use Case: Employee shift scheduling • - Constraints: Availability, skills, legal rules, fairness • - Goal: Efficient, conflict-free, optimized schedules
- 8. POC Development Process • 1. Understand business rules • 2. Define constraints • 3. Model planning entities • 4. Configure AI solver • 5. Test and optimize • 6. Build simple demo interface
- 9. Key Results • - Reduced scheduling time by 80% • - Improved accuracy and compliance • - Enhanced team productivity • - Stakeholder buy-in achieved
- 10. Real-World Applications • - Healthcare: Shift planning, bed allocation • - Logistics: Route optimization, fleet scheduling • - Manufacturing: Job assignment, production scheduling • - Field Services: Technician dispatch, task routing
- 11. Why This Matters • - Better decisions, faster • - Scalable, flexible, license-free solution • - Aligns technology with business goals
- 12. What’s Next After the POC • - Full-scale implementation • - ERP/CRM system integration • - Cloud-based deployment • - Continuous constraint tuning
- 13. Final Thoughts • - Planning impacts everything • - AI-based optimization isn’t the future—it’s now • - Let’s bring intelligence to your planning
