About:
Google OR-Tools is an open-source software suite for optimization, designed for solving linear, mixed-integer, and constraint programming problems. It provides highly efficient native C++ libraries wrapped for Python, Java, C#, and Go. The tool is widely used to tackle complex scheduling, routing, and resource allocation challenges in operations research.
|
Key Features:
- Comprehensive solvers for linear, integer, and constraint programming
- Specialized algorithms for vehicle routing and network flow
- High-performance C++ backend with multi-language bindings
- Integration with industry-standard modeling languages like CP-SAT
|
Use Cases:
- Vehicle Routing Problems (VRP) for logistics and delivery optimization
- Employee scheduling and shift planning
- Supply chain inventory management and production planning
|
Alternatives:
-
COIN-OR (CBC, GLPK)
– COIN-OR is a strong open-source alternative, though OR-Tools is often preferred for its superior performance on routing problems and ease of integration.
-
Gurobi / CPLEX
– Commercial solvers that often outperform open-source options on massive datasets, but require expensive licenses compared to the free OR-Tools.
