Artelys provides consulting services to support its clients in solving their problems...

Strategic optimization

Based on state-of-art economic techniques, statistical analysis and mathematical optimization, Artelys provides decision support to managers in developing and analysing their strategies: dimensioning production capacities and stocks, designing networks, setting up purchase or investment policies, analyzing and managing risks, establishing fare policies, assessing and negotiating contractual clauses, evaluating organizational principles.

Thanks to their experience, their capacity to listen and to analyze, Artelys consultants are able to take into account very efficiently and quickly all specific business constraints of each client, through a well-tried methodology. Using advanced modeling tools and numerical solvers, Artelys is able to produce accurate quantitative results in a very short time. In close collaboration with their clients, Artelys consultants help convert companies' specific data into strategic indicators, that will facilitate reliable and efficient decision-making.

 

Modeling & Solving

Artelys helps companies model their most complex problems. The choice of a relevant model within a decision-support system depends to a large extent on the role and use of this system. The physical and economical characteristics of the system of interest and the nature and required accuracy of the expected results are analyzed. This analysis helps define the problem's scope and is an important step in the mathematical formulation.

When developing a model, Artelys consultants take into account data acquisition related issues and potential numerical difficulties. Using the most recent modeling tools, they can test and validate solutions in a very short time. They build suited and effective models that enable companies to make the best decisions.

 

Decisional architecture

Artelys offers a wide range of services regarding both the definition and the roll-out of decision-support systems. Our actions are mostly concerned with technical skills that make the core business of Artelys: technical choices (both hardware and software), modeling and numerical optimization. However these questions cannot find answers if one does not take first into account the necessary changes in organization, responsibilities, data exchanges and decision processes.

To provide the best answer to these various challenges which, for most of them, are of the highest importance for the success of your project, you will rely safely on the experience and skills of Artelys consultants. They will design and specify the exact decision-support system that you need according to a specific questioning:

• What will be the role of future users?

• Is there any need to rethink decision methods, redefine responsibilities and improve interactions between working departments?

• Which data will be used, and how will they be managed?

• Which decision variables, criterions and key performance indicators will be used?

• Which algorithms and technologies will lead computations to the best level of efficiency and reliability?

• Should specific training and/or support be planned to prepare a smoother migration of users to new tools?

Artelys consultants can help you find your way through this overall assessment and help you find the solutions best matching your needs, considering both human and technical constraints and/or opportunities.
